It seems more people are encountering more dark days than ever before. We live in a world growing darker every day. Deception is rampant. Lawlessness is rampant. Heartache is rampant. Broken relationships are rampant. Evil is rampant. Our world, in general, is growing darker, and for many, our personal worlds are growing darker. None of us are immune to the consequences of the things noted above.

So, how do we navigate dark days? Having spent some very difficult and challenging days over the past couple weeks, I was especially blessed by these thoughts from Dr Erez Soref, President of ONE FOR ISRAEL. He provides an answer to that question, and I pray we all take courage from these words and are emboldened to follow through on them!

Dark days do not define us, they refine us! Be bold and courageous, my friends! Just as the Spirit of the Lord told the inhabitants of Jerusalem in the midst of dark days: Do not be afraid nor dismayed because of this great multitude, for the battle is not yours, but God’s. (2 Chronicles 20:15)
