Genesis 44:1-34; Psalm 22:1-31; Matthew 25:31-46
Moses drew near unto the thick darkness where God was. Exodus 20:21
And I will give thee the treasures of darkness. Isaiah 45:3
At times we experience tragedy in our lives, the loss of a loved one in a car accident; the death of a child. But God says there are treasures in these dark times. More importantly, God’s glorious presence is with us in the thick darkness. Don’t fear the darkness, there is more than one lesson to be learned here — treasures, plural not singular. —K. W.
Light after darkness, gain after loss,
Strength after weakness, crown after cross;
Sweet after bitter, hope after fears,
Home after wand’ring, praise after tears. —Frances R. Havergal
