You step away for a minute or two, this turns into hours, weeks, months. The light becomes dimmer and dimmer until there is no more. You feel overwhelmed by the darkness that appears to consume you. But then you realize, darkness didn’t enter, light is what’s missing. The Light.
“Why, my soul, are you downcast? Why so disturbed within me? Put your hope in God, for I will yet praise him, my Savior and my God.”
Even in the absence of light, praise. Praise. Always praise.
