treasures of darkness

"You light a lamp for me.
The Lord, my God, lights up my darkness."
Psalm 18:28 (New Living Translation)

When we find ourselves surrounded by darkness we must look for the meaning that lies within it. Whenever you find yourself engulfed by darkness, begin to dig by the light of your flickering torch of faith for the treasures of meaning hidden there. For the treasures of darkness are found only by those who dig for meaning.

God will never allow us to be surrounded by darkness without handling us a pick so that we can dig for treasure.
