    Dark times..Follow the Light

    “If I say, “Surely the darkness shall fall on me,” Even the night shall be light about me; Indeed, the darkness shall not hide from You, But the night shines as the day; The darkness and the light are both alike to You.”‭‭Psalms‬ ‭139‬:‭11‬-‭12‬ ‭NKJV‬‬ God is just as present in the darkness as in…
