Night of our, dear savior's birth.
Long lay the world in sin and error pining until he appeared in the soul, felt its worth.
2000 years ago when the world seems still in life was going on and it's normal.
Frustration.
There was a flurry of activity in the Heavenly Realm.
To us.
It appear.
That nothing would ever change.
But soon, happen would burst into life right in front of our eyes.
That night long ago, when most people were fast asleep, a group of Shepherds were watching their sheep.
He probably had a fire going quietly chatting amongst themselves.
There, wasn't a sound of round, except the sound of sheep doing what shape do at night in the pasture.
And in that quiet, in that hidden place.
A burst of light appeared in the angels from Heaven saying to the shepherd's glory to God in the highest and peace on, whom his favor rests.
Can you imagine yourself sitting there by the fire with the warm glow on your skin?
You might have a soft blanket wrapped around you, in a warm cup of drink in your hand.
It might feel like nothing will ever change.
It may feel like heaven is silent for you.
It might feel like God has no interest in your life.
It may feel it.
All around is Darkness.
Nothing silence.
But God.
God bursts having into our world and gives us that thrill of Hope.
God is always working behind the scenes for you for your good is Angels announced piece on those with a for those on whom his favor rests.
That's you is favor rests on you.
He is called wonderful, counselor, Mighty God.
Everlasting father Prince of Peace Emmanuel God With Us.
Our God is a god of the suddenlies.
He's the one that shows up and changes everything.
He's the one we can miss.
If we don't look.
You can again know the thrill of Hope.
You can know that regardless of what you're feeling say, at the right moment, having will burst in with lights.
And singing will be over you.
He rejoices over you with singing.
A thrill of Hope, the weary World rejoices.
For Yonder breaks, a new and glorious morn.
Do you remember the thrill of Hope?
You know, what a weary Soul feels like, right.
Yeah.
You and I can have weary Souls.
We need real hope to keep us rejoicing.
We need that under that understanding that God is with us.
The problem is that hope deferred makes the heart sick.
Is your hope and disappointing you?
Is your hope deferred?
let's think of other players in the story that it's such a wonderful accounting for what who got is and what he wants to do for us.
What about the wise men who traveled so far?
Can you imagine yourself walking under a Starlit sky? Can you see the twinkling lights?
So, vast in the darkness is far as your eye can see.
That Kind of Night Sky, I can make you feel so insignificant and so lost.
One of my favorite Calvin and Hobbes comic strips.
He's yelling at the sky and he says, I am significant.
And two frames later, you can put that up on the screen, actually two frames later.
He says, says, yelled the speck of dust.
Can you show that side?
That's it.
So beautiful.
We can we can have that.
That can be us.
We can feel so insignificant so lost.
But sometimes lost is okay.
The Magi might have felt lost.
They didn't know where they were.
They didn't know where they were going.
But they knew they had to follow the star.
Sometimes we get so determined, not to get lost.
But this year, we all find herself.
Last week.
We have our five-year goals and our life plans are out the window, you know, we may have had serious health problems, come up.
We may have had relationships collapse.
We may have had financial difficulties, and some of us have had all three and and and it's during a pandemic.
There is never been a better year to know to really know to live with hope that will not disappoint.
The hope that can't be deferred.
We have been waiting and we have been floundering.
We've had the goalposts move again and again and again.
We thought there were answers and we've been disappointed.
We've been told to wait and we've been told to be patient and we've been told to wait more and we've been told to have more patience.
I want you to remember today that hope can take you to places that you've never imagined.
We might not even know what we're looking for, but we may find cod in a way.
We didn't expect.
You need to be like the wise men who followed the star.
What's the star for our weary soul?
It's hope.
It's real hope.
It's the thrill of hope that allows our weary soul to rejoice.
Real hope comes with real faith, in and faith is simply our natural response to his revelation.
Shepherd's weren't filled with hope until he changes were there.
Were they waiting?
Yeah, did they want things to change?
So yeah.
Were they happy with their current lot?
Probably not.
But God showed up.
And hope sprung out.
You can have peace and joy and hope at all times, and in every situation.
It doesn't come from sticking your head in the sand.
It's not a guarantee when everything is sunshine and rainbows.
It's a walk of faith.
