The other night I was driving home from work and it was blizzarding. It was almost impossible to see further then one car in front of me and the wind was strong enough to blow my car off the road. As I turned onto the gravel road one mile away from home, the conditions grew worse. The road was drifted over and wind now blew directly at me instead of to the side of me. I couldn't see. At that moment I had a choice. I could pull over and wait for the wind to die down and hope it cleared up or I could contiune on for the last mile and preserve through the storm. I choose to drive through.
The Holy Spirit spoke to me in that moment. He told me how this is just like life. Throughout my life I have had various struggles and storms come and every time I had a choice to give up and just hide in the corner, or else I could perserve on through and get to the light at the end of the road. That night as I drove I couldn't see my farm lights, or any glimpse of light, but I KNEW that my house was only a mile away and that if I contiuned on, I would make it eventually. God allows storms to come into our lives and its up to us how we are going to handle them. Sometimes the storms in life are so painful or hard that the future looks completely and utterly dark. It looks like their is absolulely no hope. But that is when God calls us to hang on to what we know to be true. Himself. He is our Hope. He is our Light. When all you see is darkness and hopelessness around you, remember that Jesus promises HE is the light of the world. That he came to be our HOPE.
Keep perserving, their is Light. He is our Light. When the future looks dark, call out His name. He is there. Even when we dont see it.
