blessings in the dark

Day 8

“Ye feeble saints, fresh courage take;/Those clouds ye so much dread,/Are big with mercy, and shall break/In blessings on your head.” – W. Cowper

I’m grateful for the blessings of God when things are going well. The very fact that life is so “good” is in itself a blessing. Still, the blessings I treasure most are the ones that fall from those dreaded clouds; the ones God gives even during those times when life goes “wrong”, sometimes horribly wrong.

Those glimpses of grace in the midst of darkness let me know that my Father is there. He has not left me. His mercy will always reach beyond my trial and soothe my needy heart.
