Darkness. The world was in darkness. But we knew the Light was coming because God promised His arrival. Suddenly, one night so long ago, He came bursting into our world as a baby. And just like the morning sun, He overcame the dark of night and gave us hope.

Seconds can drag on and years can fly by. We know we are on this earth for just a moment. And we don’t know when that moment will end. So, God, help us to turn to you, to seek your wisdom. As Psalm 39:7 says, “My hope is in you.”

Our plan is not always God’s plan. Even if we walk through darkness and uncertainty, He makes our steps light because He is our strength.

You are not alone. When you’re fighting an uphill battle and feel like you just can’t go on, God is with you.

No matter the circumstances, you can lean into Jesus—the best gift we could ever receive—and He will calm your spirit.

The weight of the darkness can be suffocating. Until the Light of the World reveals Himself, and you believe.

Kids love to imitate. That’s how they learn. And just as we pass down our wisdom, skills, or hobbies to our children, God asks us to follow His example. There’s no better way to learn how to love life and live life than from the One who created us.

Believers are called to shine the light of the gospel in a very dark world. There are many challenges, and at times it can seem like it’s all in vain. But God’s promises hold true to sustain you in the journey and bring hope to lost people. This is the third in a series of videos for Gospel Here & Now. Go to gospelhereandnow.org to find out…
