Walking in the Dark

Devotion from Joni Eareckson Tada’s

A Spectacle of Glory: God’s Light Shining Through Me Every day. 

Read by Pastor Karen Crawford

The Presbyterian Church, Coshocton, Ohio

“Who among you fears the Lord
    and obeys the voice of his servant,
who walks in darkness
    and has no light,
yet trusts in the name of the Lord
    and relies upon his God?”

(Isaiah 50:10)

“even the darkness will not be dark to you;
    the night will shine like the day,
    for darkness is as light to you.”

(Psalm 139:12)

Praise you, Father. You have been with me in many places that have been so very dark. I have cried out to You and reached for Your hand, and You have always been there. As David prayed, “Darkness is as light to you.” I won’t even fear the valley of the shadow of death, because You are with me. Amen.
