BUT... the Lord rises upon you (Isaiah 60)

Arise, shine, for your light has come. Darkness covers the earth, 

BUT THE LORD rises upon you, and his glory appears over you.
Isaiah 60 

As I spent me first day as a flight attendant I met a girl who was going to Alaska and she talked about growing up there and how hard the winters were because there was only an hour or two of daylight.
 It is comforting to know that darkness may cover the earth BUT The Lord rises up!
