My oldest son has lived in Florida for many years. He feels the darkness of nighttime is the worst time for a hurricane to make landfall. With darkness outside and no power inside, the sound of the roaring wind and the pounding rain is a sound not easily forgotten. I’ve never been in the dark from a hurricane, but I feel like I’ve been in the dark when things happen and I don’t understand why. I’ve discovered the best thing to do in those dark times is to trust God and go to the light of His Word. God’s Word reassures you and me, that even in the darkness, God’s loving care, power, and inescapable supervision is there.
Even there your hand will guide me, your right hand will hold me fast. Even the darkness will not be dark to you; the night will shine like the day, for darkness is as light to you. Psalm 139:10,12
