Sometimes when things look bleak—when it appears evil is winning—even the most upbeat of Christians can experience discouragement. Here are some encouraging thoughts for dark times…
But this is your hour—when darkness reigns (Luke 22:53).
Darkness is limited to an hour—God’s light is unquenchable forever!
When Jesus said, “I am He,” they drew back and fell to the ground (John 18:6).
Even in the hour of darkness, Christ’s power causes the forces of darkness to drop in fear!
Jesus answered, “You would have no power over Me if it were not given you from above” (John 19:11).
The power of darkness is limited; it is kept in check by God’s limitless authority!
Where, O death, is your victory? Where, O death, is your sting? (1 Corinthians 15:55).
Even a supposed “victory” for darkness is ultimately an overwhelming victory for Light!
What have I to fear when I am held in God’s power? I am shielded by the Almighty, and for that I can sing out loud praise even in the hour of darkness!
