The earth turns on its axis. Midnight is the moment when a part of the earth is the farthest away from the sun. Spiritual midnight is the period of the greatest departure of men from God. Today our generation has experienced unmentionable events in a midnight of unparalleled darkness. But midnight is not received with the same feelings by the children of God as by the world. At midnight, the firstborn of the Egyptians died, but the chosen people obtained their freedom. The Lord said, "The night comes when no man can work" (John 9:4). But whenever something is declared impossible in the Bible, this does not refer to the faithful. About them Jesus declared, " All things are possible to him that believes" (Mark 9:23).God's people can work even at midnight. It was at midnight that Samson took the gates of the city of Gaza (Judges 16:3). At midnight, Ruth received from Boaz the promise, " I will do to you all that you require" (Ruth 3:8-11). At midnight, Paul and Silas won for the Lord the jailer of Philippi (Acts 16:25). At midnight, the people of God do their greatest exploits. Therefore, the psalmist says, "At midnight I will rise to give thanks unto thee" (Psalm 119:62).Christians must not be afraid of the darkness in the world. They must work. The Bridegroom comes soon. True children of God cannot meet Him empty-handed.Richard Wurmbrand
