He brought them forth from darkness…
and broke their chains asunder.
Psalm 107:14
God Will Bring You Forth From Darkness – Psalm 107:14
He brought them forth from darkness and the shadow of death,
and broke their chains asunder.
Reflection
Do you feel like you are walking around in a cloud of darkness as of late? If so, you are not alone. Life can be very uncertain and challenging at times. Not only will every human being personally experience this, but Jesus also warned us that in this life we will have trouble. The question then is not how to avoid the storms of life, because they will come, but rather who we can rely on when they do come. When you do not know what to do or where to go, to whom do you turn? There exists only one answer, friends: God.
With Jesus, every day is a new day and another chance to see beyond the clouds of darkness. It is wise to remind ourselves often that Jesus died on the Cross in order to secure a life for us free from the bondage of fear, stress, sin and hopelessness; free from any chains that would attempt to hold us captive. So no matter what you are going through today, no matter how dark the skies appear, bring Jesus with you. Not only does He have power over nature (figuratively and literally), He has the power to transform any situation in your life and around the world. That is because He is the Messiah, the Savior of the world — the way, the truth and the life. With Him, we can do all things … including rising above any darkness here below.
“He brought them forth from darkness and the shadow of death, and broke their chains asunder” –Psalm 107:14.
Prayer
Lord, thank You for never being far from us. Even in the midst of the most raging of storms, You are right beside us nudging us to trust You. We find ourselves in uncertain times now, but by keeping our eyes fixed on You we know that we will find our way to the Promised Land. We humbly pray, Jesus, that You would fill us with Your love, peace, joy and courage in the midst of today’s storms. With You we have nothing to fear. It is in Your good and Holy Name we pray. Amen.
