That’s what I call them anyway, “reversals.”

For example: “Weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning.” Psalm 30:5 … changing tears into shouts!

Or God giving grace enough that Paul can truthfully claim: “Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ’s sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong.” 2 Corinthians 12:10, weakness miraculously reversed into strength!

Or John Newton’s famous song even: “I once was blind, but now I see!” (Amazing Grace)

Come to think of it, God’s fist Biblical Act was bringing order out of chaos. “And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.” Genesis 1:2-3

My testimony can be added to the list, as well as yours dear Christian friend! “And you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins.” Ephesians 2:1, once DEAD, now ALIVE in Christ Jesus my Lord! The “reversal” I’ll never get over!

Now I’ve discovered a new paradoxical Move of God, a “reversal” of gigantic proportions as we live our lives for Christ!

The “reversal” of Psalm 18:28 … “For thou wilt light my candle: the LORD my God will enlighten my darkness.”

Christians in darkness?

Oh yes! “Who is among you that feareth the LORD, that obeyeth the voice of his servant, THAT WALKETH IN DARKNESS, AND HATH NO LIGHT? Let him trust in the name of the LORD, and stay (lean) upon his God.” Isaiah 50:10

And when I am going through one of those inevitably dark times, it’s great to know that eventually … “the LORD my God will enlighten my darkness.”

Folks, remember this verse, I mean get it “in your heart!” We just might need it in the days ahead.

Once again …

“For thou wilt light my candle: the LORD my God will enlighten my darkness.” Psalm 18:28

I’m quite sure enough has been said. The Holy Spirit will do the rest! He will “inculcate” this Truth into our hearts! (Latin: “in” meaning “into” and “calcare” meaning “to tread!” Dictionary definition: “to teach someone an attitude, idea, or habit by persistent instruction.”)
