Treasures in the Dark

"I will give you treasures hidden in the darkness-secret riches. I will do this so you may know that I am the LORD, the God of Israel, the One who calls you by name." Isaiah 45:3 (NLT)

Darkness.

It envelops those in its path.

No matter the source of the darkness, the depth of the pit, the number of sojourners by your side, there are treasures-secret riches to be found.

They may take the form of comfort, the shape of strength, the constitution of endurance. The essence of hope, the bedrock of peace, the fulfillment of love.

The One Who calls us by name loves us beyond our fathoming. He sees. He knows.

And He holds the future.

His Word wields light in a world that often seems plagued by the dark.

May we seek the One Who is the Light. Let us put our trust in Him and find Him faithful.
