As in the natural; set in the spiritual world, there are seasons of light and darkness; and when Jesus, the Sun of righteousness, for a moment withdraws his shining from the soul, and makes darkness there, Satan, the great enemy of souls, comes forth, as a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour. Oh! how sweet, after a dark night of temptation, doubt, and fear, is it to the soul, to behold Jesus arise with healing in his wings! Malachi 4:2; Psalms 130:6.
