The night is far gone; the day is at hand. So then let us cast off the works of darkness and put on the armor of light.
(Romans 13:12 ESV)
I read this verse the other day while doing some quiet time, and it really stood out to me. So many times I get lost in the darkness and think that I am all alone. I fall pray to my temptations and to the schemes of the devil. I try to solve my problems in my own way or on my own; completely forgetting God and all He has to offer me. This verse gives me hope.
God is always with me, and will always be with me, even in the darkness. He will never leave me. Not only is He the light, but He gives me the "armor of light". All this makes me think is that He gives me a way ti defend myself from the devil and sin, and a weapon to ward them off all at the same time. He gives me the Bible, a community of encouraging fellow believers in my friends and family, and His presence.
God will always be with me, I just have to remember that He is the light and will always overcome the darkness.
