Today's Daily Lesson comes from 1 Samuel chapter 2 verse 8b:
For the pillars of the earth are the Lord’s,
and on them he has set the world.
It is the longest night of the year here in North America.
Our ancient ancestors might have wondered and worried that the earth was falling into a deep and complete darkness from which it would never return.
But the pillars of the earth are fixed, and the darkness will pass away.
It will pass away, beloved. It has it's longest night; but it can't hold on forever.
For those struggling, know that I pray for you. For those for whom Christmas is deep sadness, may you hold out in this 4th watch of the year knowing that you are not alone.
The pillars are set. Tomorrow will literally be a longer, if not brighter day.
It may be the bleak winter now, but the darkness passes away, and behold, the light comes.
And the darkness cannot overcome it.
