Somber Days Have Light.

Psalm 34:14
14 Turn from evil and do good;
seek peace and pursue it.

It's nearly winter in many parts of the country. It may not really ever be winter in Florida (where I am), but still this season tends to be filled with more and more gloomy days, even in Florida. Sometimes it can reflect and transform into our own life. Certain days we feel that it isn't going to be a good day at all based on the weather.

Too often we'll get ourselves wrapped up in these unhappy and gloomy times. Don't let a bad day get the best of you. Instead, go to the Lord and pray.

Whether it's blustery winds that perturb you, snow and ice that antagonize and slow you down, or gray skies that bring you dismay, expect hard times to arrive in your life. Not everything is going to be easy. Take advantage of this such a "down" time and allow it to comfort you. You want these bitterly cold days to give you a renewed hope and energetic attitude.

These somber "events" that are occurring around you may just indicate that God's telling you to slow down and reflect on the time that he has given you along with all the peace he has to offer. Don't look at the dark parts of your life as stressful. Instead, look at it as beneficial in the long run.

God will be with you this winter season as your brave the "cold." Whenever you feel lost and lonely, run to God's peace. We should all be honored to have that privilege. Trust me, you don't have to look very hard to see God's peace!
