Fear not because you sometimes walk in darkness and have no light. Remember that you cannot understand the mind of the Lord, not the meaning of His dealings. But when the clouds compass you about, believe in God as Daniel did; trust in the Lord at all times; sing to Him in the dungeon, as Paul and Silas; sing to Him even in the fire, as the three Hebrew children did; be sure, be very sure, he who believes shall never be ashamed.
