It’s only in life’s darkest moments that we can ever experience His light at greater heights.  We often don’t realize that there is purpose in the darkness and lessons to be learned through those circumstances.  Unfortunately, I’ve done most of my blaming and complaining in the darkness.  It’s through the dark times in our lives that the glory of God’s light can shine the brightest.  The challenge is to remember to be still and quiet. Take time today to listen to what God is saying and teaching us through the refinement of trials.
