DAILY READINGS: Deut. 10:12-11:32; Song of Sol. 1:1–2:7; Luke 9:18-36

Rejoice not against me, O mine enemy: when I fall, I shall arise; when I sit in darkness, the Lord shall be a light unto me. Mic. 7:8

Are you overwhelmed by life’s problems and your current situation? Feeling oppressed by Satan? Wondering if there is any light at the end of your dark tunnel of depression, sorrow or suffering? Be like Micah and confidently rest in the unchanging character of God and His unremitting care for His people. “Therefore I will look unto the Lord; I will wait for the God of my salvation: my God will hear me” (Mic. 7:7). —Pete Smith

Oh grant us light, in grief and pain, to lift our burdened hearts above,
And count the very cross a gain, and bless our Father’s hidden love. —Lawrence Tuttiett
