Lessons I'm Learning - Part One (Darkness)

• I'm learning that sometimes the path is very, very dark.
• I'm learning that sometimes God grows our faith by letting us see what's going on, and sometimes He grows our faith by not letting us see.
• I'm learning that I'd rather walk in the dark with Jesus than walk in the light on my own.
• I'm learning that even the darkness is not dark to God.
• I'm learning that His Word is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path.
• I'm learning that when you fix your eyes on Jesus, the things of earth grow strangely dim.
• I'm learning that I'm afraid of the dark. I never thought I was...but this is a different kind of dark.
• I'm learning that I'm surrounded by a great cloud of witnesses who know what it's like to walk in the dark. (To quote Rich Mullins...one of the best songwriters of all time {although King David was also pretty cool} once wrote: Sometimes I wake up in the night and feel the dark/it's so hot inside my soul, I swear there must be blisters on my heart)
• I don't need to find light on my own. Do not gloat over me, my enemy! Though I have fallen, I will rise. Though I sit in darkness, the LORD will be my light. (Micah 7:8)

So I'm learning to trust, moment by moment.
