"Unto the upright there ariseth light in the darkness." - Psalms 112:4.

There was thick darkness no doubt in the den where Daniel lay; in the dungeon where Paul and Silas sat; and in the living prison where Jonah was confined. There is no light so beautiful, so precious as that which ariseth to make glad the countenance of the righteous as he gropes in darkness. He says, " It is well for me that I have had experience of the darkness that I might be enraptured with the light." Before the light ariseth, there must be a victory of faith in his soul. He must acquiesce in the darkness for the sake of him that sent it. He must say, " This is the proper place, the proper condition for me." He must wrap his calamity about him like a cloak, because of him who hath sent it. Thus a day-star arises in his heart; after that the day breaks for him. If the light that is in you be darkness how great is that darkness. The Holy Ghost lighteth up a light within you, whose mild radiance will go far to dissipate your surrounding darkness.

If you muffle up this inner lantern, in vain will you wait for light to arise externally upon your path.
