Have you ever noticed that the sun is still shining even when the sky is cloudy? I, at least, always seem to get caught up in the clouds and the rain. It was only today, when I saw the sun darting in and out from a partly cloudy sky, that it really occurred to me that the sun is always there, always shining.
And while this may, in itself, seem like a trivial observation, I feel that things are often the same way with God. There are times when it's perfectly clear that God is there, shining on my life. There are other times where I can't seem to see beyond the clouds and the problems that are binding me. But just like a cloudy sky doesn't stop the sun from shining, troubled times don't imply that God has forsaken me.
