"When I fall, I shall rise; when I sit in darkness, the Lord will be a light to me." Micah 7:8
Charles Spurgeon writes about this verse:
"This may express the feelings of a man or woman who is downtrodden and oppressed. Our enemy may put out our light for a season. There is sure hope for us in the Lord; and if we are trusting in Him and holding fast our integrity, our season of down casting and darkness will soon be over."
"We shall rise from our fall, for our God has not fallen and he will lift us up. We shall not abide in darkness, although for the moment we sit in it; for our Lord is the fountain of light, and He will soon bring us a joyful day. Let us not despair or even doubt."
Works of Charles Hadden Spurgeon
I have had seasons of darkness when I thought I could never feel happiness again. But I was wrong. The Lord did lift me up. The Lord was a light for me. The promises in the Word of God are true.
