Treasures of Darkness

At the Perimeter Church, Women on Wednesdays group, yesterday we had a speaker named Ginger Garrett. Ginger is an author of historical fiction books dating back to Medieval times. She spoke on

Treasures of Darkness

, based on Isaiah 45:3. Although we often think of darkness as relating to evil, she brought up the fact that God does do some of His greatest works in the darkness. When we go through some dark night of the soul it is then that God is working His greatest work to sanctify us. We can have riches in emotional darkness as we cry out to God for His mercy and grace. In any darkness God hears our cry and our darkness can become light as we focus on Him and not the anxiety or trial. No matter what darkness we go through we must not waste it, in it we must let God work His treasures of grace.
