We’ve all had restless nights, our minds raced, our bodies couldn’t relax. The darkness made the night seem endless. Exhaustion becomes tossing and turning. The unknown has a weight all its own. We longed for what we could not force.
Dawn Breaking — “The people who walked in darkness have seen a great light; those who dwelt in a land of deep darkness, on them has light shone.” (Isaiah 9:2 ESV) Where have you experienced the hope of light breaking into your darkness?
Armor of Light — “The night is far gone; the day is at hand. So then let us cast off the works of darkness and put on the armor of light.” (Romans 13:12 ESV) How does the promise of light give you hope in dark times?
Spiritual Move: Bible Study — The practice of taking time to observe, interpret, and consider practices in response. The same curiosity about the world can be directed toward the world, the soul, and the deep questions of life.“Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who has no need to be ashamed, rightly handling the word of truth.” (2 Timothy 2:15 ESV)
