Sometimes a light surprises the Christian while he sings;
It is the Lord Who rises with healing in His wings:
When comforts are declining, He grants the soul again
A season of clear shining, to cheer it after rain.
                                                                              - W. Cowper

God has a way of hiding in the shadows. And we have a way of stumbling along in the dark until He steps out of them. It happens in a moment. But when it does, when He steps out and again declares “Let there be light,” the clouds part and our souls’ dark alleys and cluttered corners glow with understanding, hope, and faith.  In that moment, if only for that moment, we can see.

And we realize that He’s been there all along.
