The darkness of Easter weekend is felt today.  Can you imagine the agony of Christ’s believers on this day?  Yesterday they witnessed Christ’s brutal death and today they questioned in silence.  Last night someone very important to me wept on my shoulder about their own questioning.  I didn’t sleep well last night waking to pray again for him and others involved.  This morning as I’ve walked through the event of last night again with God and His word, I recognize the intimate love of our Father pointing everything to Him.  My part is to only ask the questions that would keep one focused on looking to the Cross to see what Christ/God has to say in the matter.  What are you hearing Him say to you?  If you are not, know to be patient, God is not silent when He knows we are ready to hear.

Easter is a glorious day.  It comes however through the battle of the Cross of Christ.  There is much darkness ahead of Christ’s resurrection.  We have all had our days of darkness.  Lets not get lost in it, but know to wait.  In just 24 hours the Light of the Cross will break all shrouds of darkness.  Patience is difficult, but it is critically important for me/us to learn to wait on the Lord.  He is diligently working to abolish the strongholds.  He did it too!  Claim the victory even if the darkness seems to surround you.  I am learning this and learning to claim what we know is true but can’t see its truth at the moment.  God is faithful and true.  Praise His Holy Name!
