Psalm 51:12 Restore to me the joy of your salvation; and uphold me with your free spirit. The moon one day said to the sun, "Oh, Sun, why hast thou ceased to shine on me? I used to speed along in thy light; why now this darkness?" And the sun answered, "Oh, Moon, I have never ceased to shine; I am pouring out my light as full as ever." The moon thought for a moment, and answered, "Then, depend upon it, the earth has come between us." Yes, she was suffering from an eclipse. This is equally true of our life. If we allow the world or sinful indulgence to come between the soul and the Sun of Righteousness, we plunge ourselves into deep darkness and lose all our spiritual comforts.
