Our Constant

"You, Lord, are my lamp; the Lord turns my darkness into light. With Your help I can advance against a troop; with my God I can scale a wall"- 2 Samuel 22:29-30 (NIV).

I noticed the morning light is not present when I open my shutters at 5:50 in the morning now. The earth is rotating and the days are beginning to shorten. It's almost indiscernible, unless you're a type-A person who does the same routine each morning...like opening the shutters once my bed is made. There's good to be found in being observant. Seasons come and go, but the earth keeps turning. It weathers the heat of summer and the chill of winter, but it keeps on turning, just as God created it to do. Metaphorically, we go through seasons, too: fear and courage, sadness and joy, sickness and health, lacking and gain, etc. We must keep "turning," just as God created us to do. He turns our darkness into light, fights alongside us through battles, and gives us strength to overcome obstacles. Those who discern His presence, even through a difficult spot, are filled with the peace only God can give. There can be joy in the darkness, in the battle, and in the difficulties and what's more, a confidence grows with each "turn." God is with you. He is your Constant.
