Friday Reflections: Singing at night

In the spiritual realm, as in the world of nature, the singers of the day are more numerous than the singers of the night. But surely we can glorify God the most by singing in spite of the dark. It is not hard to praise the lord when everything is going well, when we have a good job. But what happens when trials come? When our health is gone, our money is spent, relationships are broken, or tragedy strikes, the reality of our faith is tested. Only those who are wholeheartedly committed to Christ can have a song in the night.

When the shadows are long He will give me a song

As when skies are blue and bright;

For each step of the way, each hour of the day,

And songs in the deepest night.
