“Blessed (praised, glorified) be the Lord, the God of Israel, Because He has visited us and brought redemption to His people, And He has raised up a horn of salvation [a mighty and valiant Savior] for us In the house of David His servant—”
Luke 1:68-69 AMP
A Mighty Valiant Savior
Salvations Horn
Can we review
The happenings of old
The Christmas story
How it did unfold
In the city of Bethlehem
Behold a King shall be born
A descendant of David
Salvation’s Horn
But only to those
Who with expectant heart
Came this message, as Gabriel
Announced this start
They were looking
Eagerly awaited
The consolation of Israel
As scriptures stated
When the timing was right
That star shone bright
Just then the chorus rang out
Gloria, Oh Holy night
From The God of Israel
Salvation has come
And from no other
His Arm is the Son
Salvation had come
In the way of a babe
Sight to the blind
Strength to the lame
Noel Noel
Come and see what God has done
The greatest gift ever known
Jesus, Messiah God’s perfect Son!

Noël comes to us from the Latin verb nasci, meaning “to be born.”
Noël is “Christmas” in French. Noel can also mean good news, coming from the French phrase bonnes nouvelles (“good news”). Noel can even mean birthday. With this meaning understood, no wonder we sing Noel at Christmas to celebrate the good news of the birth of Jesus!
In seasons of turmoil and confusion we are instructed to take, grab hold of, clasp, embrace: [a close encircling with the arms and pressure to the chest especially as a sign of affection : HUG] refuse to let go, hold fast our faith, which becomes our hope and courage, knowing our King, Valiant Savior reigns. We may not understand His timing, His ways or His why, but we can be assured when the time is right we will know and understand. (Isaiah 55:8-9)
And, in understanding we will see The Gift He planned long ago, still gives and continues to deliver. In the darkest hours His light shines the brightest. Perfectly delivers over and over, precisely at the kairos time, the Right time, the Perfect time, the opportune time…
My prayer is we embrace the change, understanding, if He brings us to it, He surely means to bring us through it and show others His amazing deliverance which is His faithfulness.
According to the scriptures.
“Glory to God in the highest [heaven], And on earth peace among men with whom He is well-pleased.”
Luke 2:14 AMP
