Devotional: It doesn’t matter what you may be going through in your life right now. You may feel as if you’re in the darkest dark you’ve ever been in. Yet, even in the darkest dark, there is a light that is soon to come if you are willing to wait for it. The Lord shall be a light unto you.Matthew 14:25-27 shows us this very clearly. “And in the fourth watch of the night Jesus went unto them, walking on the sea. And when the disciples saw him walking on the sea, they were troubled, saying, It is a spirit; and they cried out for fear. But straightway Jesus spake unto them, saying, Be of good cheer; it is I; be not afraid.” The disciples had been told to go to the other side. A tremendous storm had arisen, and the boat was filling with water. The disciples believed they were all about to drown, but the Bible says that in the fourth watch of the night Jesus came walking on the water, saying, “It is I; be not afraid.” The fourth watch of the night is the darkest part of a 24 hour period. Most people think it’s midnight, but it’s not. It’s always the darkest just before the dawn. You may be in the fourth watch of the night. Your boat may be filled with water, and waves might be beating up against your ship. In the natural it may look as if there is no way to go but down, but I want you to notice that in the fourth watch of the night, Jesus came walking on the water. He always comes in your darkest hour. When you’re in the darkest dark that you’ve ever experienced, that’s when you can start looking for the Lord. He will be with you no matter how dark things look. Jesus is walking toward you today. He has already set Himself in motion. He’s got your miracle in His hands. He’s walking toward you, but if you’re not looking for Him, you won’t recognize Him when He comes. The moment you think that you are in your darkest hour, look for Jesus. He is the Way when there seems to be no way. He will be a light unto you.
