Dark Night

Now from the sixth hour there was darkness over all the land unto the ninth hour. (Matthew 27:45)

This happened on Good Friday just as Jesus was about to die. There was darkness over all the land. It could be the situation of someone where everything seems so dark and gloomy, with little or no hope of the situation turning around. The truth is that it's just the Friday that comes before the Sunday. Friday may look all dark and gloomy, but there is a Sunday that is coming that shall clear up every darkness and gloominess. Jesus may have died on Friday, but glory hallelujah, he resurrected on Sunday morning. The Bible says that weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning (Psalm 30:5).

This was the case when Joseph was sold to slavery in Egypt and even went to prison for a crime he did not commit. Those were the dark and gloomy times for Joseph. He may not have understood it but he kept enduring until morning came. Eventually, he became second in command over Egypt and entered his resurrection Sunday. All of a sudden things began to become clear. God had seen him through the night to get to the morning. He had passed through Friday and got to Sunday.

You may be in Friday right now, but there is a Sunday coming that will make sense of the Friday to the point that it's called Good Friday. Hold on, change is coming! Joy is coming! Hallelujah!

Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God. (Hebrews 12:2)
