The unexpected, hopeful circumstances that show up in our darkest moments are not accidents but precious assurance builders from the Lord.

From Judges 7:15:  “When Gideon heard the telling of the dream and its interpretation, he worshiped, and he returned to the camp of Israel and said, ‘Get up, for the Lord has given the army of Midian into your hand.'”
