The psalmist said, “When darkness overtakes the righteous, light will come bursting in” (Psalm 112:4). When you’ve been overtaken by darkness, by a flood, by a negative medical report, by people trying to stop you, it’s going to happen suddenly—a surge of favor, of healing, of strength. You didn’t see it coming. One moment you were struggling with debt, and suddenly—one contract, one promotion, one good break—you have more than enough. One moment you didn’t see how it could work out, and suddenly the right people showed up. What happened? The light came bursting in.

The God who is a very present help in trouble said, “It’s time for your surge. You’ve been pulled back long enough. Now it’s time to propel you forward.” God is about to do that for you.
