We use to live where we could see the western sky with no obstructions. Many afternoons there would be clouds dotting the sky with the sun shining behind them it was a breathtaking view. Many times a cloud would look dark and had light around it. Clouds with silver linings are what we called them. The other side of that cloud was the sun setting low in the sky, its rays streaming across the sky, and around the cloud shining on the earth.

Just as that could was black and around it was that outline of beautiful bright light called a silver lining, we are told that our trials and test have silver linings. Scriptures says all things, not just some, works for the good of those that love Him called to be His children.

Behind each cloud in our life is our Heavenly Father brightly shining. All we have to do is to look on our life and how He has stood with us and we know in this testing or trial He will also be with us. It might look black as night, but we know He is on the other side.

Look at testings of our life as opportunities to learn, grow, and stretch in getting stronger in our walk with our Father. Just like physical exercise in proper proportion builds us up, our Father brings these clouds as we could call them in to our life to build us up spiritually. He has to know our heart, but He is always there just waiting to shine brightly and brilliantly in our life.

Keep your eye on the spiritual silver linings in your life, not the clouds that loom up ahead.
