"Yours is the day, yours also the night; you have established the heavenly lights and the sun." Psalm 74:16 English Standard Version
I don't know what brought about the colors of the night when I took this picture of the full moon at the Garden of the Gods. I have an idea that the moon, the city lights, the darkness of the eastern high plains and the camera itself contributed to this scene.
We don't think of the night as having color. If we think of color at all we regard it in terms of shades of gray. Yet even in the darkness God has established light. The moon and the stars are God's gift in the night.
When we experience the darkness of life, colors might appear gray. The struggles we endure have a way of robbing us of color. Joy is often lacking when we struggle, as well as peace and contentment.
The psalmist reminds us that the darkness of the night belongs to the Lord, whether that darkness be from the rotation of the earth, or struggles of our soul.
The darkness of sin does not have the ability to rob us of the colors of God's grace in Christ. For those of you struggling with shades of gray, may this picture give you hope that even in the darkness God's mercy shines.
