We all go through some dark times in our lives. We lose a person or persons whom we shared life with. Our health begins to fail us, or an accident or surgery leaves us with a long time recovery. We are terminated from our jobs. We face financial trouble and see no way out. Maybe we’ve made some bad choices and our reputation has been damaged. There are many causes for the dark valleys we walk through in life. King David faced some dark valleys in his life. He shared his source of strength to make it through. (Psalm 23:4 Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and staff, they comfort me.) Remember, darkness can not hurt you. Also remember, there is a source of light that will brighten even the darkest valley. You do not have to be afraid. You only need to allow God to brighten up your darkness with His presence. No matter what the source of your darkness today, God is able to fill it with light. God gives comfort. God supplies strength for recovery. God is able to open doors for employment for you. God will forgive you of your bad decisions and put you back on track for your life. Recognize and receive God’s presence into your life today. Watch the shadows disappear and your day light up with His love for you. Pastor Don
