S-Job 17:11-12 NIV
11 My days have passed, my plans are shattered.
Yet the desires of my heart
12 turn night into day;
in the face of the darkness light is near.
O- Job here is speaking to himself to uplift his spirits in the midst of a very challenging set of circumstances. He could feel defeated and hopeless but shows here rather than wallowing in a pit of despair to focus on not his shattered plans but on the desires of his heart. It is in this turning to what he deeply desires that the light returns and brightens his way. It is a reminder that even in darkness , light is near.
A - The application for me is to recognize that in my darkness , the light is near. The light is God and his plans for me. These future plans and path are to bring hope where there is despair and peace where there is pain. My job is to focus on the light of God and not on the darkness of my sin and despair.
P - Dear heavenly Father thank you for today's lesson may it be sealed to my heart. I pray Lord for a clear vision of your light in my darkness. Help me to see your light in my path and to see your ways over my ways. I pray this in Jesus Christ name, Amen.
