Finding God In The Dark – Matthew 1:23

Pain often sharpens our focus on God. Like Joseph, we may experience seasons where our dreams seem shattered, our plans fall apart, and we struggle to understand what’s happening. But even in those dark moments, God is present, guiding us toward His greater purpose.

Faith calls us to react in the light of God’s Word, to trust His promises, and to find comfort in His presence. Fear may try to hold us back, but God’s plans are always greater than our uncertainties. He invites us to step forward in faith, knowing that His purpose is unfolding even when we can’t see the full picture.

Are you looking for God in the midst of your struggles? Are you trusting Him even when life doesn’t go as planned? Let this season be a reminder that God is with you—always.
