It’s amazing how we can be in the middle of something and not realize our circumstance has changed. When you are in your dark place, there are many things you are not going to be able to see. It’s a New season a new day in your life. Its 2:00 am and it still looks like 11pm, but you are in a new day. You may not recognize it. It looks the same. The circumstances you see and the things you are going to thru look the same, they haven’t changed but you are in a new day. Or the opposite may be true, you may recognize you are in a new day even though on the outside nothing has changed, but now people really don’t understand you. You are shouting and rejoicing because you are in a new day and know it.
It’s still dark, your stumbling around, not really sure whats going on, it’s your dark place. Your lamps out of oil, you hear noises and are not sure what they are or where exactly they are coming from, its your dark place. People are talking about you, saying they aren’t sure if you are going to make it, smallest little thing hits you and it just adds to the dark place.
Maybe you are still in the p.m. time in your life. Maybe you are preparing for a long night. It’s about nine in the evening. People still out, having a good time, lots of noise, lots of lights still on around you, you can see what’s happening though. You are getting prepared for a long night, mentally, physically, emotionally. You see it coming. You are not surprised when the people around you leave, when things begin getting darker and darker. Lights are going out, people gone now, crickets chirping. Its your dark place and you settle in because you think you have this all handled and you can get thru it on your own.
It’s dark now. You are not receiving, reflecting, transmitting or radiating any light. It is dark. Fear begins to set in. False Evidence that Appears Real. It’s easy to appear real when it is in the dark when you can’t tell what it is. Things appear differently; windows, shadows, everything seems to take on a different shape and you can’t seem to remember what it looked like just a few hours earlier.
You now see headlights coming at you. Is this someone to save you or to do you more harm. You don’t know, you are in your dark place.
We have all been thru a dark place in our life. We have all come thru them, but going thru them is tough, very tough. You don’t know where to go or what to do. All we have to do is turn to Jesus and the Word. He is our light and the Word is our lamp. The things we need to make it thru the dark places in our life. Morning is coming, the day is going to break very soon, your joy is just a few minutes away. Hang in there, hang in there, hang in there. Your day has changed, your new day is here, the time of awaking is upon us. Get up! Lets start a new day.
