YOUR DARKEST HOUR

The darkest hour is just before dawn. Hence your present midnight cannot get any darker. True, at night you discover that the daytime promises of your friends become booms of silence, and their support, strong as the ropes of sand. But God also works at night—even as He did at the Red Sea: “The Lord caused the sea to go back by a strong east wind ALL THAT NIGHT, and made the sea into dry land, and the waters were divided” (Exodus 14:21). Are you going through some dark night experiences? Feeling helpless, bewildered, and unable to see the way clearly? Hold on a little longer, for your darkest hour heralds the dawn of your new day. There’ll be a way, and the things that now perplex will soon be made plain.—Samuel Koranteng-Pipim.
