Dark Days

Genesis 15:12-13

"As the sun was setting, Abram fell into a deep sleep, and a thick and dreadful darkness came over him

Then the Lord said to him, 'Know for certain…'"

The darkness was dreadful, but in the midst of that dreadfulness came the voice of the Lord. In the darkest of dark days, God spoke to Abram and reassured him of His presence, His plan and His peace.

It's said that if one sense is not able to function properly, the other senses become more acute and effective. I believe that often God allows the dark days so that we stop looking for a way out, and start listening for God’s way out, for His voice and His plan.

The darker the night, the brighter is His light. He is right there, waiting to speak.

Even in the dark days, find the Lord.
