"A thrill of hope, the weary world rejoices....."
It is December 12....less than 2 weeks until Christmas!! We have snow and cold and groceries and bills and car repairs and sickness and much, much more. We can easily relate to the weary part of the song. It's a weary world. A weary community. A weary home. A weary family. A weary person who lives in this skin.
But the song doesn't end there. Keep reading....well, keep singing! :)
"A thrill of hope, the weary world rejoices, for yonder breaks a new and glorious morn! Fallllllllll on your kneeeeeeees....."
In response to being weary we can easily fall....fall on our faces! Yep - that's exactly where we land on our own. But....the song ends differently. "Fall on your knees....oh, hear the angel voices!" What were the angels saying that first Christmas?
“Glory to God in the highest heaven,
and on earth peace to those on whom His favor rests.” Luke 2:14
Ahhhhh.....there is the thrill of hope! Falling not on our weary faces, but falling on our knees in praise and glory to God! Hope: God's favor at rest in you. <3
