“He Illumines Our Dark Times”
by Dona Hake
“the Lord my God
illumines my darkness.”
Psalm 18:28
Today let us consider those times in which we are blindsided by life’s unannounced difficult circumstances that render us helpless, and our hearts are tempted to fear. There are those times that we are going about our business and out of no where we are hit with having to make a difficult decision. It may be so difficult that our mind and heart are in total confusion. You cannot see in front of you nor can you see what is behind you. If things seem unclear and in the midst of it all you are struggling to hear and see what to do, know this our Lord is our light. Today let us proclaim, “The Lord WILL be a light in our darkness!”
God’s Word tells us in Psalm 119:105 “Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light for my path.” “The psalmist also proclaims in Psalm 119:112 “I have resolved to obey your laws forever, at every step.” I believe this kind of resolve in our heart will always cause us to hold fast to God no matter what we see or cannot see. This is the man that will not be moved by circumstance but in faith in God alone. We can be assured that our faith will be met by a God of total light because in Him is NO darkness at all.
Lord, we thank you for Your light and divine direction in those times in which we need to see which way to go. Thank you Lord for being our Great Compass as You guide us with Your light. In Jesus Name! Amen.
