Evening Brightens into Day
At evening time it shall happen that it will be light.
~ Zechariah 14:7
"It is a surprise that it should be so; but God is wont to work in a way so that the dark will not deepen into midnight, but will suddenly brighten into day. Never let us despair. In the worst times let us trust in the Lord who turns the darkness of the shadow of death into the morning.
This promise should assist our patience. The light may not fully come till our hopes are quite spent by waiting all day to no purpose. But to the righteous, the sun rises when it is almost night. May we not with patience wait for that heavenly light, which may be long in coming, but is sure to prove itself well worth waiting for?
Come, my soul, sing unto Him who will bless you in life and in death, in a manner surpassing all that nature has ever seen when at its best." (By: Charles H. Spurgeon ~ One Minute Devotions)
Please pray this prayer with me this morning. Our Father who art in Heaven, Hallowed be Thy Name. Thy Kingdom come, Thy Will be done on Earth, as it is in Heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. Forgive us of all our sins, our debts, and our trespasses against You and man, as we forgive those who are indebted to us, and those who have trespassed against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from all evil:for Thine is the Kingdom, and the Power, and the Honor, and the Glory, forever. It is in Christ Jesus' Precious Name, Amen!
