God will not leave you lightless.

Genesis 1:16

16And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day,
and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also.
If you have ever gone through a night season you know it can be one of
the most challenging times of your life. My book, "Cerulean Sky" is
about a man who endures the hand of God through a night season. We
know that the night season only becomes the night season when the sun
dips below the horizon and no longer can illuminate the day. The
states that night comes when no man can work, but that does not mean
God can't work at night. My favorite preacher once said, God does his
best work at night. Even though the night season is a time of rest,
God refuses to leave you lightless. He gives you something to see by,
or something to focus your eyes on so that the darkness does not
overtake you. Never underestimate the power of the lesser light. It
is not as bright as the sun, but it keeps you from going crazy. It
does not illuminate the sky like the sun, but it can illuminate your
way. It cannot warm the earth like the sun, but it can
kindle hope for a new day. My common flaw was grieving the
loss of the sun during my night season, I did not consider the lesser
light. Some light is better than no light at all. God could have
chosen to leave me in complete darkness and tell me to make it through
the night, but he did not do that. He refused to leave me lightless.
Job said that God gave songs in the night. In the Songs of Solomon,
the king came to visit his love at night. God planted the manna on
the dew of the earth at night. God led the wise men to Jesus with a
lesser light at night. The death angel passed over the blood at
night. Just because night has come does not mean that God is not
immensely working for you. He will not leave you without hope. He
will not leave you without a sign. He will not leave you without
light. Even in the midst of darkness, he will not leave you
lightless.
Prayer: I pray that in the absence of the sun, you reach for the moon. I
