The midnight hour holds a weighty significance in the spiritual realm. It is a time when the forces of darkness rise, seeking to assert their power, but it is also a time when the hand of God moves mightily on behalf of those who call upon His Name.
As believers, we do not fear the darkness, for the One who is in us is greater than the one who is in the world. God’s power far surpasses any evil that dares to confront His children.
The Word of God declares in Psalm 91, “He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.” This is a promise to those who seek refuge in the Lord. When the night is at its darkest, when the enemy believes the hour is in his favor, it is the children of God who triumph, for we are under the shadow of the Almighty, where no evil can touch us.
