“Unto the upright there raiseth light in the
darkness…” Psa 112:4
The
distinction is not that dark days cannot befall us as well as others; you may
be bereaved as others are, and you may lose possessions as others do – the general
laws apply to all in this respect. God never promises that He will interpose to
save His people from such things, but He will save them in them! The peculiarity in regards to those who fear
God is the promise these things will not always continue, that one should not
be overwhelmed by them. It will not be uninterrupted or unmitigated gloom; “Light is sown for the righteous; gladness
for the upright in heart.” Psa 97:11. The light that is promised for the “upright” and
desired to sown in their time of darkness originates from God, thus get God in
it. Psalm 127:1 “Except the Lord build the house, they labour in vain that build it…”
The original language utilize for “house” is universal in application, meaning
a dependence upon God for life’s undertakings.
No matter what one’s skill, strength or wisdom may offer – all of man’s efforts
will be in vain unless God assist them.
God
never promised days without pain, sun without rain, but He does promise
strength for the day and light for the way!
