Darkness occupies a complicated place in scripture. Believers even wait for it. The sun will be darkened, the moon will not give light, the powers will be shaken, but somewhere within the chaos lies our redemption.
The Scriptures are saturated with imagery of light; they begin with God speaking light into being and end with the heavenly Jerusalem alight with the glory of God.
Are you at peace with yourself? How often we can fool ourselves, through benevolent busyness, but when we stop to listen beyond our reason, beyond our feelings, what do we hear? If it is peace, we are abiding in Christ.
