Today's Our Daily Bread talks about a Christmas song that I haven't heard at all lately. It compares the arrival of Christ with the blooming of a rose in the dead of winter. As the essay says:
The song speaks of a season when roses don’t bloom and of a night half gone, a time when people often give in to despair.
Imagine how God's people felt after all those years of waiting for their Deliverer. They might have been ready to give up. Then in the middle of a winter night, when they least expected it, their prayers were answered.
God knows the hour and moment of your deliverance from your burden.
Don't give up.
