Isaiah 41:17 When the poor and needy seek water,
and there is none,
and their tongue is parched with thirst,
I the Lord will answer them,
I the God of Israel will not forsake them.
When the cold and the bundled seek warmth, and there is none, and their bones are chilled to the marrow, I the Lord will answer them, I the God of Israel will not leave them out in the cold.
Just seemed more appropriate this morning.
Whether thirst is your bad situation or cold is your bad situation... Whether a cancer diagnosis or a job loss is your bad situation... Whether a shortage in the Santa budget or an inability to get along with your family is your bad situation... Whatever your bad situation, the Lord will answer you, the God of Israel will not forsake you. God had good news for your bad situation, whatever it is. In the dark and in the cold, just hold on. Because the light is coming.
In Christ,
Pastor Seth
