I was recently reading a book by Dr. David Jeremiah, and I came across a quote that made me stop and think. He said, “If our faith doesn’t work in the darkness, it’s not much good in the light.”

I immediately thought of a flashlight. Have you ever tried to use a flashlight in the daytime? It’s pretty useless, isn’t it? Even the brightest flashlights do little to illuminate things in the daylight because the light is already present in the form of the sun. On the contrary, when using a flashlight at night, the difference is impressive. While the light may not chase away all the shadows, it certainly helps to illuminate our path and alleviate our fears.
