" . . . To give light to those who sit in darkness and the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the way of peace."
Does your soul ever feel like it is in darkness, and the shadow of death? Do you find yourself in turmoil, and struggle? If so, recognize that this is not abnormal. What *is* extraordinary is the "light" of Christ, and the "peace" He gives us--even while we are in anguish of soul.
Sometimes, life is just downright difficult. There is an answer, however--and it is found in the Lord Jesus Christ. If you are saved by grace through faith in Christ, then comfort yourself with the knowledge that God does indeed love you, and His designs toward you are all for your good and betterment.
[Puritan quote of the day: "Make it your earnest request to God, that He will give you a heart to love Him." --Thomas Watson, in "All Things for Good"]
