Night Faith – Part 3

You are my lamp, O LORD; the LORD turns my darkness into light. 2 Samuel 22:29

Since the world is continually revolving, it means whenever the sun's shining in one hemisphere it's dark in another. While one person's experiencing midnight, another's rejoicing because daybreak has finally arrived. Same time, just different locations. So when you're having a night time experience, if you can just hold on a little longer things will change. That's a guarantee! The same way you rotated into the darkness you'll rotate out of it again. God, the night watchman, will '...turn [your] darkness to light' if only you'll keep trusting Him. In Genesis, while Adam was sleeping God reached in, performed surgery and made Eve. At midnight, while the other prisoners slept Paul and Silas prayed and sang praises to God in their jail cell and He delivered them. When Peter was locked in the inner prison, at midnight God sent an angel to liberate him. When Jesus was crucified the earth was plunged into darkness. But on Easter morning the light came on - forever! Paul says, 'We walk by faith, not by sight...' (2 Corinthians 5:7). You've got to expect some night time experiences. The 'dark room' is where He develops you into the image of Christ. Enduring just gives you the credentials to walk out into the daylight, having earned the right to be there! Night faith is tenacious, radical and relentless. When it's backed into a corner it stands its ground and declares, 'I've lost my job, my mortgage is overdue, my symptoms don't look good, but I believe God.' That's the kind of faith that gets results!

Prayer
Heavenly Father, You are the light that shines through my dark moments and provides me with Hope for a new day! Thank you Father. In Jesus’ Name, Amen
