Proverbs 4:18

“But the path of the just is as the shining light, that shineth more and more unto the perfect day” (Proverbs 4:18). We would all like nothing more than for it to be sunshine all the way.

This is how it is in the lives of Christians. Do you often have to go through foggy periods where your vision is clouded, and the danger of colliding with your neighbor is far greater because you no longer see things clearly? Does it often appear to be dismal inside you because the sun of grace is veiled? What do you do in such a situation, when you feel depressed? Do the only right thing!
