If I say "Surely the darkness shall fall on me," even the night shall be light about me. Indeed the darkness shall not hide from You, But the night shines as day. The darkness and the light are both alike to You. Psalm 139:11-12

This early morning I stepped outside to see a sliver of the moon shining. Although it was just a portion of the moon illuminated, it still shined brightly. It's an awesome sight to see the moon at night. In essence, the moon is reflecting the suns light. 

In your walk with the Lord, there are times when all you can see is a sliver of God's light shining into your life. Each step is a step of faith. But then there are times when it seems you are completely surrounded by darkness and you wonder if God is realy there. Maybe you've received some tragic news, suffered brokeness from a failed relationship or your child has lost all sense of direction and walking down a dangerous path...which keeps you up at night. These and other life events can totally leave you without  hope.  

Friend, let me assure you, God is never in the dark and He promised to always be with you no matter the circumstances. Although you may be in the dark, he sees the way forward. It's at that moment that you we can do is draw closer to Him and allow Him to guide you through the darkest moments of your life. How do you do that? Through MUCH prayer, on your knees praying to God and thanking Him for His goodness. Keep the faith and trust in 
God continually stoked. Satan will try his best to make you believe God is elsewhere...but Satan is a liar and deceiver. That's why it's so important to always keep your faith in God and hang on His promises. Read the bible...He will lead you to words of encouragement and strength. Believe me, I've been there in each of the situations above...He saw me through those times and He will do the same for you...keep the faith. 

Light out? It's ok, God can see you through the darkness. Trust Him and draw close to Him, He will take you further than you could ever imagine....even in the darkest hours of life. God bless.
