There is Hope Even in the Midst of Darkness
During these uncertain and dark days, many (even in the body of Christ) are bewildered, frustrated and have a sense of hopelessness because they have no understanding or knowledge of what is really happening. Why does it seem like the promises of God are so far off? Will I ever get my “breakthrough?” Will the sun shine again? Why do I have to suffer through lack or just enough? These questions and more are questions that many people are pondering. However, there is good news! No matter what it looks like, God is always at work putting the pieces together for the next season.
God gave me a powerful message for the body of Christ, which I entitled, “There is Hope Even in the Midst of Darkness.” This message is designed to enlighten, encourage and empower God’s people.
Instead of being confused and saddened by these dark days, we in the body of Christ should be rejoicing; God is up to His best work. It seems that God waits until the world is at its darkest and has exhausted its remedies before He shoots His best shot.
Instead of dwelling on your circumstances, ponder on this thought; new life, new beginnings, new ideas, new opportunities and new revelations spring from darkness. Let me illustrate this point.
A mother-to-be carries a fetus in her womb for nine months. Gestation, the developing of the embryo, is taking place in total darkness. The child’s vital organs; the lungs, heart, kidney, bladder, pancreas and other organs that the child needs to function in the outside world is growing and developing in darkness. Without the time spent in darkness the child would not be able to function in the light. Thus, new life springs from darkness!
During this season of darkness, God is developing us. He is refining our character, our strength, our abilities, our skills, our determination and our spiritual muscles. God knows that we need to be fully developed to meet the challenges of this evil day and to fulfill the assignments He has ordained for each of us.
Now, can you agree that there is HOPE even in the midst of darkness? Don’t despise these dark days my child…darkness precedes new life.
