Light in the Night

 From Our Pastor's Desk

There are many biblical interpretations of night.  

1st Thessalonians 5:5-8 tells us that sins are committed in the night or darkness - “For those who sleep, sleep at night, and those who get drunk, get drunk at night. But since we belong to the day, let us be self-controlled” 

Night time is generally an unpleasant time.  It is a time of sadness and weeping for some (Psalm 30:5), wearisome to the afflicted, lonely, favorable to the purpose of the wicked, wild beasts go forth in search of prey during the night, time of stumbling, of spiritual darkness, seasons of severe calamities, of spiritual desertion, even death.  

Night time could be bitter, hellish, unpalatable, and painful. 

But thank God that those in their nighttime are not left alone, they are not hopeless. Zechariah 14:7 says – “At night time it shall be light”. There is light in the dark tunnel. Though we walk through the valley of the shadow of death we shall fear no evil, for He is with us; His rod and His staff they comfort us. 

Are you going through a nighttime experience right now? Things are just not working your way; you weep inwardly…Arise, shine, my brothers & sisters, for thy light has come.  

“At night time it shall be light” You will have good success this 2021.  Remain blessed.   

Shalom.
