It was at midnight the Lord smote all the firstborn in Egypt and rescued His people from Pharaoh’s grasp. It was at midnight that Samson, locked inside an enemy city, calmly arose and took the thousand-pound gate, posts and all, and walked free into the night. It was midnight when Boaz, from the threshing floor, gave the widowed Ruth his pledge of love, protection, and rest from her labors.
It was at midnight when Paul and Silas prayed and sang praises in prison, and God burst open the doors with an earthquake. It was midnight when a sleepy young Believer, having fallen to his death out the window, was embraced and brought to life again. It was midnight when Paul’s ship, after enduring 14 days in a hurricane, were promised safety from the Lord, even though the ship broke to pieces.
There are midnight hours and midnight seasons. These are the times when things seem the worst and help seems improbable. If the book of Job teaches us anything, it is that the deepest sufferings and griefs not only come to an end but find perfect cure and restoration in the hands of our Savior. There is always hope in the darkest hour for those in Christ.
Its thrilling to know, that even in this moral midnight, the Lord is rescuing souls. Yet He comforts the waiting with the promise of glories to come: “For, behold, I create new heavens and a new earth: and the former shall not be remembered, nor come to mind. Be glad and rejoice forever in that which I am creating!”– (Isaiah 65:17).
Jesus said it would be a midnight season when a shout pierces the darkness to the waiting Bride, “Behold! The Bridegroom is here! Go out to meet Him!”
Maranatha.
