In life, we often face dark times filled with fear and
loneliness possibly to despair. Suffering through these times, whether from
loss, defeat, failure, or any other event, we often feel overwhelmed, enveloped
as it were by the darkest of night finding no light, not even a flicker of hope.
Fortunately, there is one for whom the
darkness is no barrier. David knew both amazing success and the agony of
extreme failure and loss. He endured the torrent of tears that loss releases
and the anguish of a broken heart and wounded spirit. Yet, he wrote with the great
assurance of experience that he was never alone! Though David could not see
through the binding darkness, he discovered one with him able to see and to
deliver as though standing in the light of the midday sun. No darkness defeats the
True Light who holds you.
Trust not your own sight but the love of the one who holds
you.
Psalms 139:12
“Yea,
the darkness hideth not from thee (my God); but
the night shineth as the day: the darkness and the light are both alike to
thee.”
