"The Lord said that He would dwell in the thick darkness" (1 Kings 8:12). "Clouds and darkness are round about Him" (Psalm 97:2)
Does the evening news trouble your soul to distraction? Are you overcome by the darkness in the world?
People panicked on the edge of violence when they heard that Lincoln had been assassinated. General Garfield's voice boomed through a loudspeaker, "Fellow citizens! Clouds and darkness are round about Him. His pavilion is dark waters, and thick clouds of the skies. Justice and judgment are the habitation of His throne! Fellow citizens, God reigns!"
Believe it -- God reigns! All the confusion and darkness in the universe cannot annihilate God's throne. John Henry Jowet said: 'He will bring fortune out of misfortune; the darkness shall be the hiding place of His grace."
"God is light" (1 John 1:5), and every believer is to be a reflector of that light in this dark world. As long as our flame is fueled by His almighty power, our lamp cannot be extinguished. All the darkness in the world cannot put out the light of one candle. So shine till He comes!
