Darkness.
Divinity hidden from sight and scrutiny.
God’s purposes and plan unfolding in secrecy.
A spiritual war waging out of sight and comprehension.
God’s salvation plan birthed in eternity gestating here now, in human time, patiently waiting for its revelation.
Darkness.
Disciples in utter despair and defeat, veiled in the confusion and grief of shattered hopes and unmet expectations., unaware that Jesus, in the tomb, is fulfilling His Father’s plan for their freedom.
Darkness.
The bowels of hell reeling in the discovery of the enemy’s failed fantasy to outsmart Heaven, as the Son of God breathed His last, the celebration of victory moments before, crushed with the entrance of the Son of Man come to reclaim that which was stolen. Jubilant cries of victory erupt into wails of defeat!
Darkness.
Once a medium of foreboding and fear, now fractured and gathered in the folds of the Royal Robes as Jesus, the King of Glory, moves in the shadowed spaces and places that drive our deepest doubts.
Darkness…. now holds a deeper meaning!
A place of transformation, redemption, rescue….the birthplace of potential…of diving deeper into quiet rest….a time of waiting in trust that Our Sovereign God’s plans are deliberately hidden in the dark because the weight of His glorious outworking’s would overwhelm us….
Be still and wait patiently.
Your Abba Father is working in the dark, behind your perceived immoveable stone…waiting for the perfect time…to Hatch His Holiness.
