What a changing day in the Centurions life and in the lives of all future generations!
I wonder what the darkness was like? What did people do? Was their panic and fear?
I know I often forget about the several hours of darkness during the period of judgement of sin. The reality is that after the darkness came something beautiful. The veil was torn from top to bottom and we were instantly in direct communication with God. We were given a personal relationship with him. What a beautiful gift in itself. Not to mention eternal life and forgiveness of our sins.
Many times when we are in the dark we are consumed by it. It is hard to see that there may possibly be something so beautiful on the other side. Something we can't begin to imagine.
Father, thank you for sending the darkness in our lives. Thank you for teaching us things we would never know otherwise. Thank you for your guiding hand in the darkness. I pray that in this new year we see the light so much that the darkness will not consume us when it comes. I pray that we shine your truth and love to others in their darkness. Help us to live for you and help us let you live through us. Thank you Lord for all that is coming in 2016. We don't know what the year holds but we do know that you love us and that you are with us. God with us. Every day. Amen.
