The Dark Times

“For there stood by me this night the angel of God.”
- Act_27:23

Through the darkest time in Paul's life, the Angel of God stood by him. The scripture above was written as a storm raged for two weeks so strong and powerful that the sun was blocked for the duration of that storm. Paul was told to tell everyone to just stay on the ship and there would be no loss of life.

At the darkest times in our lives, we will cry out and ask God where He is. We accuse Him of abandoning us, much like the disciples did when the storm raged and they asked Jesus, "Don't you care?" Of course, God cares. He cares about everything in our lives.

No matter what is going on, no matter how dark it looks, the angel of God will stand by those who love Him and seek Him. If we listen closely, we can hear His voice and discern what we need to do, whether it be to stand still or move. Listen for the voice of God and heed His Word. You will be surprised at what he can do.
