Mankind as a whole has had a fear of the dark. I remember as a kid I slept with a light on. That light stayed on until I over came my fear of darkness. Evil is almost always associated with darkness. Vampires and other creatures can only operate at night. Most crimes are committed at night. Darkness seems to feed our fears.
There are times in our lives when things seem the darkest. Sickness,finances,divorce,relationships with family and friends and death can all bring darkness into our lives. This darkness can cast a heavy shadow on us all, not just affecting us,but also the lives of others. Now come close and let me tell you a secret: "God does some of His best work in the Dark!!"
Genesis 1:2-3 states "And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters."(3)" And God said , let there be light: and there was light." There has to be darkness before there can be light, so don't be afraid of the Dark. Look around you and see what God created in darkness.Simply put, He created a miracle! We can rest assured that in our darkest times, God is there waiting to create a miracle for us as well! We just can't be afraid of the dark. King David may have said it best in Psalms 23:4 "Yea, though I walk through the valley (low spot) of the shadow (darkness) of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.
Darkness is coming, that is a fact of life, but we don't have to be afraid because we have a light named JESUS! Don't be afraid of the dark!
May God's Grace And Mercy Be With You Today And Always!
