Jesus Lives

by Sarah Young

 

HIS LIGHT SHINES ON ME CONTINUALLY WETHER I AM AWARE OF IT OR NOT. During the wee hours of the night, My thoughts are often distorted --even catastrophic. Although I may feel as if I'm enveloped in darkness, I remember that darkness and Light are alike to Him. He is with me and His love me never fails. I need the Light of His Presence supremely more than I need the Light of day.

When the day before me seems dark and threatening, I can still trust God to guide me. Walking by faith is akin to using radar to discern the way I should go. Instead of trying to see through the clouds of uncertainty up ahead, I fix My eyes on Him. He can show me a way forward where there appears to be none. Moreover, as I strive to stay in communication with Him, my soul opens up to Him. Even in the midst of my struggle, His loving Presence can fill my soul with warm delight.

 

If I say, “Surely the darkness will hide me,

and the light around me will be night” —

12 even the darkness is not dark to You.

The night shines like the day;

darkness and light are alike to You.

Psalms 139:11-12 (HCSB)

 

Let me experience

Your faithful love in the morning,

for I trust in You.

Reveal to me the way I should go

because I long for You

Psalms 143:8 (HCSB)

 

For we walk by faith, not by sight,

2 Corinthians 5:7 (HCSB)

Therefore strengthen your tired hands and weakened knees,

Hebrews 12:12 (HCSB)
