Light and Shadow by Billy Graham

Day By Day With Billy Graham

Day 157 of 366

Light and Shadow

All the masterpieces of art contain both light and shadow. A happy life is one filled not only with sunshine, but one which uses both light and shadow to produce beauty. The greatest musicians, as a rule, are those who know how to bring song out of sadness. Fanny Crosby, her spirit aglow with faith in Christ, saw more with her sightless eyes than most of us do with normal vision. She has given us some of the great gospel songs which cheer our hearts and lives. In a rat-infested jail in Philippi, Paul and Silas sang their song of praise at midnight to the accompaniment of the jailer's whip. But their patience in suffering and persecution led to the heathen warden's conviction.

Daily Prayer

Let my heart learn to sing when everything around me seems so dark. Give me Your grace to praise You, Lord Jesus.

2 Timothy 4:5 NASB

5 But you, be sober in all things, endure hardship, do the work of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry.
