Even in Darkness

 Scripture:

“Even in darkness light dawns for the upright, for those who are gracious and compassionate and righteous.”  ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭112:4‬ ‭NIV‬‬

Observation:

The Psalmist here tells us that, even when it is dark, for the upright, light dawns.  When we are gracious, compassionate, and righteous, we can expect that light will dawn in darkness.  He doesn’t guarantee things will never get dark, rather, he states that even in the darkness, light will come.

Application:

When we are living in righteousness, we don’t have to fear the darkness.  Dark times happen to everyone, but for the righteous, dawn will come.  The enemy loves to bring darkness into our lives so we can’t see what God is doing.  He loves to make us feel like God isn’t working when He really is.  Our job is to walk in obedience to the Lord, He then will make sure the sun rises and light comes into the dark places of our lives.

Prayer:

Father, help me to walk in the light as You are in the light.  Teach me to follow Your ways and think Your thoughts.  Empower me to never be afraid of the darkness, but to know that dawn will always come when I’m walking with You.  When darkness does come, help me to realize it is just a set up for dawn to come soon.

Yours Forever,

Jeff
