This verse tells us that even in the midst of suffering…God’s love shines forth and His favor surrounds us as with a shield. (Psalm 5:12)   Circumstances can still be dark around us, but people will notice something different…a light shining forth from us, as we steadfastly  put our faith and trust in God.  Situations may not change, for we live in a broken world…but what can change is our attitude  and reaction to them.
