Though I sit in darkness, the Lord will be my light.
No matter how dark circumstances may appear to a material sense of things, there is always light to find through spiritual sense.
Spiritual sense is our connection to God. It is our ability to tune into spiritual reality, and see what God sees.
God is more than any self-assertive evil of the moment. God is good. God is Love. God is Truth. God is Light!
To the material senses, life may appear dark and foreboding, but to spiritual sense, there is the comforting goodness of God present to deliver us from that evil and bring about something good.
In the middle of a very dark material place, we can still find light. We can find the Light of God. And it will save us from the darkness.
Thank you, Evan! This is a perfect message that I needed to hear today.
Perfect for today and everyday…thank you Evan. The light draws you in , in the picture. Sometimes an illustration brought to mind just leads to the right thoughts of the one Mind❣️
So grateful to you Evan for your constant words of wisdom, that continually add light to my life. And awaken me to real Life.
Thank you for the lovely inspiration. It is a good reminder to keep lifting thought up and know that God (light) obliterates any negative suggestion of darkness. I am so grateful. May your day be filled with light. Blessings.
God has already given you the wisdom to meet this challenge. All you have to do is express that wisdom. What a wonderful challenge! And you will continue to get challenges you can meet so you can shine brightly!
Jesus said “…in the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.” John 16:33
And you will too. 🙂

Thanks very much dear J ! I printed the article out to enjoy reading it later. Am looking forward reading it! 🙂
Thank you too J for the link to that excellent article! Helpful ideas.
Bonjour famille, Good day family !
God is ALL.
We learn in CS that darkness and evil are not real or actual. But when using material sense to look at life there does appear to be a false sense of evil, a false sense of darkness that we may seem to perceive. It implies an absence of good and an absence of light, basically implying an absence of God. This we know is impossible. As Evan says today, God makes us able (through Spiritual Sense) to turn away and tune in to see what He sees.
The other day when using my TV remote control to silence some error that was bring broadcast (a drug commercial or something politically divisive). I thought how nice it was with just one push of a button to silence error. I realized we can use our spiritual mute button on our “Spiritual Remote Control” to silence any lying, dark, error thoughts that try to tempt us into reacting. Just say NO. Then all that’s left is God, good.
Thank you Evan! 🙂
Rose, thank you, I appreciate the idea of a ‘spiritual mute button…’ 🙂
Thank you Rose; what you wrote in your second passage is what I also experience and do.
Specially when medicine commercials come up I immediately press the remote button. And thanks for the spiritual version of pressing the remote button to silence all error – saying NO. Wonderful, then all that’s left is God, infinite Good!
“Though I sit in darkness, the Lord will be my light” says the prophet Micah. That is a wonderful comfort from God, infinite Love! You are always pointing out to Spiritual Sense, yes that is the sense of God, divine Mind! “Spiritual sense is our connection to God. It is our ability to tune into spiritual reality, and see what God sees.” Thank you dear Evan to fill our consciousness with Truth and Love and right spiritual understanding, giving us lovely spiritual and healing food!
As Jim says here below, I am also filled with Love, Gratitude and Gladness and often much comfort, when I read all the inspiring and healing comments. It moves and touches me a lot. Thank you all very much!:)
My heart is filled with love, happiness and gratitude for all of the comments of encouragement and comfort that I received regarding my post on Monday. Your posts are deeply appreciated . I can’t tell you how many times I held back the tears while reading your comments, till finally I couldn’t and they just came flowing. The blessings and fruitage started almost immediately. The next day I found out that a nearby lovely relative has lost her job and had applied at three agencies in a completely different field of work for her-
caregiving. I am sure this can work out harmoniously for both of us…”what blesses one blesses all.” Again, Thank you, thank you, thank you. With much love, Jim
Jim,
So happy to hear that! 🙂
Looking forward to hearing about the demonstration for your relatives employment.
Thank you, Evan.
Thank you. J, for the link to a very helpful article. And, Rose, I wore out the mute button on my TV controls some years ago.
Thank you Evan for sharing such wonderful and encouraging thoughts on the Light. I was then led to the link on SpiritView to your excellent lecture “Healing: the Grander View” (which is also on YouTube) and most a propos of your subject today.. It was just what I needed to hear to counteract when evil appears as real as good and more powerful and SO helpful!! It explained why I was feeling depressed and discouraged and tempted to give up on CS healing.
Thank you, Evan and J and LOL and all for the divine messages that are so helpful in
trying and such uncertain times..
Sometimes the darkness of mortal mind seems to turn our whole world upside down
and we tend to be stressed out with many issues that seem to get us depressed. We
need the light of God’s Truth to get ourselves back on the right track … with thoughts
that heal and unite us with God’s Love, rather than thoughts that seem to tear us apart.
mortal mind’s upsetting words make us feel badly and we just want to think and feel
pleasant, peaceful thoughts, like our God-given reflection. This topic of finding light
in the darkness helps to do that.
