Tis the Season

Even in Southern California, we get seasons! A little snow hits our mountains and the streams start flowing.

As the temperatures drops, as well as the leaves, we know change is happening. With all this change comes the hope of Spring. We know that whether snow or rain, this moisture brings what our dry land desperately needs.

In the middle of this “winter” season we have a thing called Christmas. Christmas too brings hope for something new. In fact, about 700 years before the first Christmas, we’re told of the HOPE that is to come.

“The Spirit of the Sovereign Lord is on me, because the Lord has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim freedom for the captives and release from darkness for the prisoners, to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor and the day of vengeance of our God, to comfort all who mourn, and provide for those who grieve in Zion—to bestow on them a crown of beauty instead of ashes, the oil of joy instead of mourning, and a garment of praise instead of a spirit of despair. They will be called oaks of righteousness, a planting of the Lord for the display of his splendor.” (Isaiah 61:1-3 NIV)
