As the sun revealed its crown of brilliant light, the cloud grew darker. It was only for a moment, but it was a God-moment. The sun peeked out from behind the darkest cloud in the sky. God is light and love and all things wonderful, so if I belonged to Him, how could life be filled with such darkness? There had to be an answer. I knew we hadn’t been forsaken by the Lord, but I couldn’t put the pieces together. I looked up at the afternoon sky, thick with dark storm clouds, pondering what Solomon had said. I rocked on my porch and watched darkness settle on the mountainside. As the massive clouds streamed overhead, the sun became obscured. A thunderhead was forming on the horizon. The wind was kicking up, swirling fallen leaves into tiny whirlwinds. He led me to 2 Chronicles 6:1-2: Then Solomon spoke: “The Lord has said that He would dwell in a dark cloud.” Huh? The Lord is in a dark cloud? How is that possible? The following is taken from my journal on the day the Lord gave me understanding: I once asked the Lord how I could experience darkness as His child if He is light.
