Micah 7:8-13

Reader! it is truly blessed when a child of God can thus look at every foe and triumph in Christ. Times of darkness are times for faith to be in lively exercise. It is of no real consequence in what state of exercise a believer is placed in, if faith be in action. His safety is always one and the same. And dark seasons are equally favourable with bright seasons, in respect of his everlasting security. His comfort may vary; but his security cannot. And therefore dark seasons afford only a better opportunity for the triumphs of faith; because then it is the soul finds special comfort in Jesus, when all creature comforts cease to satisfy.
