God Is Light

Then spake Solomon, The LORD said that he would dwell in the thick darkness. (1 Kings 8:12).

Thought For Today

Faith is being able to see God in darkness. When you are inundated with trials, troubles and circumstances it is often hard to see God at work in your life. These are what I like to call dark times. But Solomon says that God will dwell in the thick darkness. So no matter how dark it may seem to you, God is right there working it out with you. Scripture teaches us that Moses was instructed to put no light in the Holy of Holies. The candle sticks were only to be placed in the sanctuary. The Lord dwelt in the Holy of Holies. Therefore, because He is the Light, there was no need for light within the Holy of Holies. Once you are exposed to the light in the sanctuary, you should always have that light with you and no matter how much darkness you encounter, you should always be able to see God's presence.
