God Will Do It

Sunday. Isa. 9: 2-7.

Every promise of God’s is a prophecy of what he means to do, and what he surely will do. Sin may delay but cannot prevent God’s plans working out. In one of the darkest hours of Israel’s story, and the world’s, there shines out boldly, clearly, in striking contrast with the gloom all around, this exquisite promise of what God meant to do for the world. So our dark hour shall know bright gleams of light if well keep our face Godward.
