In the short, often cloudy, days around the end of the year, we often find ourselves longing for daylight, for bright sunshine. It is something we enjoy having, and something we miss when it is in short supply.

Psalm 142
v.3 When my spirit grows faint within me, it is You who know my way.
v.5 I cry to You, O Lord; I say, "You are my refuge, my portion in the land of living."

The goal of life is not happiness, and the purpose of life is not the search for happiness. Happiness is the result of right living and right living involves doing what is right in service to others

Trust in God. When He speaks to you through the personal, intimate, inner voice of the Spirit, and you hear Him confirm it through the many different sovereign ways He can use, through the Word as His Spirit opens it and makes it life to you, through the body of believers as they are moved by the Spirit, through mundane or secular channels as God's Spirit quickens it to your spirit, trust God and obey Him.
