Day 8:  About Darkness and Light

From Touching the Clouds: Encouraging Stories to Make Your Faith Soar

I once heard Dr. Joseph Bayly, who had experienced the death of three children, say, “Never forget in the dark what you have learned in the light.”

God never intended us to know everything, but He will reveal to us all we need to know. If we knew and understood everything, we’d have no need for faith. In our own minds and hearts, God would be diminished. Some things we’re not able to understand anyway, and some things are best left unknown. So, in His time, God may disclose some things to us, but in some instances, His love gift may be silence. The most important thing to remember is that we never walk alone. He has promised, “I will never desert you, nor will I ever forsake you” (Hebrews 13: 5 NASB).
