In my darkest night, You shine as bright as day.

So.. I feel like I'm on the brink of a breakthrough.
That also means that the enemy comes at you with even stronger temptations and distractions.
It's been a rough week or so. A very deep and dark time. I'm not really sure what's come over me. Just a loss of hope and sadness. How many of you know that GOD IS BIGGER THAN THAT!!?
I was listening to the same worship music this morning that I always listen to, and "You Are Good" by Bethel Live came on. I sang the lyrics like I normally would, but it's like God suddenly threw them in my face.

"Nothing and no one comes
Anywhere close to you
The earth and oceans deep
Only reflect this truth
And in my darkest night
You shine as bright as day
Your love amazes me"

Repeat: "And in my darkest night, You shine as bright as day. Your love amazes me."

I felt like, "Duh, Sarah". Even in our darkest days, God shines as bright as day. I was standing by my sink getting ready when suddenly I felt God's brightness just overwhelm me. I was in awe for a few seconds. God's light was bright, but not only that, it was also warm. It's almost like when the sun rises in the morning and the second it peeks over the edge of the earth, everything is lit in one flashing sweep. God's brightness just peeked over the edge of my darkness. It encapsulated it entirely. There was no more darkness, and for a brief second I felt like God was saying these lyrics directly to me.

There is no darkness that will ever overwhelm God's light.
God's light is brighter than the brightest light bulb.
God's warmth isn't just a physical warmth, it's a comforting peaceful one.

The song also goes,
"With a cry of praise my heart will proclaim
You are good, you are good
In the sun or rain my life celebrates
You are good, you are good"

In the sun or rain, we still celebrate God's light, and His greatness.
