“The Sun Still Shines”
Friday, December 20, 2024Key Verse

Text — Exodus 16:9-15
Message
Everyone loves a sunny day, but we need cloudy days too. Without clouds there would be no rain to help plants grow. And without rain there would be no water. But after the rain, there is a beautiful rainbow and a bright sunny sky. Sometimes we feel sad on cloudy days, but above the clouds, the sky is blue and the sun is shiny! In life, problems can be likened to clouds. When trouble comes, we get worried. We then forget that just as the sun is still shining above the clouds, God is still with us when we face problems. He can turn our problems into blessings! When God led His people out of Egypt and through the wilderness, He led them by a cloud.
Sometimes our problems may be small like white, fluffy clouds, at other times they may be as big and scary as thunderstorm clouds. Whenever you are confronted with such ‘clouds’, ask Jesus to help you. He is always by your side because His promise is that, “He will never leave you nor forsake you.”
