Dim, the Sun Obscured ~ Seek God’s Light

Sun Obscured

The adversary is continually trying to invade our lives with darkness. He devises gloom, discouragement, hopelessness and despair.  However, for the child of God, his tactics will not prevail.  When things grow dim, and the sun seems obscured, be encouraged knowing that God’s presence will always light your way.  He will bring you back to a place where the sun is shining brightly.

Dim, the Sun Obscured

Though the sun forbear;
Dark, as gloom ensues,
I will grasp Your hand,
Your promises, choose.

Though the leaf withers;
  Bare, the branch remains,
I will trust Your word,
Knowing it sustains.

Though the winds howl fierce;
  Near, the storm clouds brew,
I will prove Your might,
And will not be moved.

Though the world rejects;
  Cold, when friends forsake,
I will keep Your love,
Safe in Your embrace.

Though the morning fades;
  Dim, the sun obscured,
I will seek Your Light,
In hope rest assured.

“Do not rejoice over me, my enemy;
When I fall, I will arise;
When I sit in darkness,
The LORD will be a light to me.“
Micah 7:8
