MONTHLY NEWSLETTER – February 19, 2024 In the Dark By Gary Wilkerson A Message of Hope from Psalm 11 “…for behold, the wicked bend the bow; they have fitted their arrow to the string to shoot in the dark at the upright in heart” (Psalm 11:2, my emphasis). Psalm 11 starts with a problem and ends with a promise. In between, it addresses three questions about our times of troubling darkness and the assaults coming at us.  Our first question is “Where is God when we’re in the dark?”  The second is “How do we call on God when we’re in the dark?”  The third is “What is God’s commitment to us when we’re in the dark?”  It is one thing to suffer through times of darkness when we bring it on ourselves through a lifestyle of sinful behaviors. In that case, we should expect arrows to come. For the upright in heart, however, endlessly suffering in the dark is troubling to the soul.  This is the point when things get tough for people of faith. As our situation gets worse – when our pain increases and suffering seem to multiply – we get confused.  Our expectation is to see the light of God’s face shining on us, but instead we remain helpless in the troubling dark.  Moreover, as David said, the enemy fires arrows at us that we can’t see coming.
