Darkest Before Dawn
April 26 - Ps 88; Job 19:21-27; Heb. 4:1-16
Psalm 88. How bleak… How desolate… How lonely… How utterly hopeless. A life full of woe. On death’s doorstep. Hated. Friendless. Forgotten.
What an absolutely apropos psalm to close out Lent, one that speaks of hitting rock bottom emotionally, physically, and spiritually.
But then there’s truth to the old cliché, “It’s always darkest before the dawn.” And for those of faith, what a wicked dawn it ‘s going to be!!
