Psalm 94
19 The sun shall be no more thy light by day; neither for brightness shall the moon give light unto thee: but the Lord shall be unto thee an everlasting light, and thy God thy glory.”
There’s nothing worse than being stuck in a small dark place. Whether we are trapped in a physical location or feeling intense internal pressure and chaos, discouragement sets in the moment we believe we are all alone and trapped indefinitely. We want a timeline for rescue and freedom. Thomas had given up hope. Even after he saw the other disciples’ enthusiasm and confidence in the Resurrection of Christ, he had doubts. It was not until Christ appeared personally to him that his faith and courage were renewed.
God is not held back by physical barriers or internal darkness. He spoke the entire world into existence. Just as Christ appeared before Thomas, He longs to be with you, regardless of how dark your discouragement and circumstances are. Take a moment to invite Jesus to meet you. He cares for you. No place within you or surrounding you is too dark for God’s light to shine.
A point to ponder…
No other religion, no other, promises new bodies, hearts, and minds. Only in the gospel of Christ do hurting people find such incredible hope.
