A light for you in dark places, when all other lights go out...

Just as the Light of Eärendil gave light to Frodo in the darkest of times, so to are God's promises and acts of providence for the Christian.

The middle of last week things were very bleak. Things were just getting tougher and darker all week long, and I had to minister to a bunch of kids the end of the day. I finally got to Wednesday afternoon, and I didn't know how I was going to smile the next day. (Usually I can fake it when I need to.) I prayed and read some psalms for a while, and afterwards decided I would apply for a few more jobs, and God gave me the possibility of a job interview. It didn't materialize as I wanted, but it was the hope I needed. It was enough for me to know once again that God is watching out and caring for me. I am so thankful not only for God's promises but the way He works through providence to bless us, and remind us that He cares personally for all his sheep.
