It's More Difficult In The Dark 3/5/2024

 Good Morning,

Door County Breakfast Blend Coffee filled my empty cup this morning and it is time to write. 

To trust God in the light is nothing, but trust Him in the dark- that is faith. Charles Spurgeon

1 Timothy 4:10 That is why we labor and strive, because we have put our hope in a living God, who is Savior of all people, and especially those who believe.

Many people will agree with this statement. "It is easier to have faith and be thankful when things are going very well." We hear more "Praise God" speeches when there is smooth sailing than we do in the doctors offices when we hear the word "cancer".

But isn't it true that when times are dark, we need more faith and we  desire to draw closer to God? During these times we must draw upon the fact that we have faith in a Living God. The One who supports the whole universe and created heaven and earth and all that is in them. We trust in the real God. The One who walks with us during the darkest of times and never leaves us. Our hope needs to be placed in the One who can light the way. 

John 8:12 Again Jesus spoke to them saying, "I Am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life."

Food for thought.

Marty
