Dark Times
“The path of the righteous is like the morning sun, shining ever brighter till the full light of day.” Proverbs 4:18 (NIV)
We live in dark times and men’s hearts are overcast with thick clouds of sin, but in Jesus we have light. In Jesus we have light that dispels the darkness. We know truth from error because we have the light of God’s Word. When we are guided by the clear discernment of Scripture, we are not easily fooled by the angry emotional arguments of the godless.
Our guide is the light that shines from Calvary. The light of our Lord’s righteousness and by that we are transformed from understanding to wisdom, from sinners to forgiven followers. In that light we become as dependable as the daily rising of the sun.
Let’s pray today that we may find clarity in these dark times by staying in the light of Calvary.
