Before God created the heaven and the earth, there was darkness all over (Genesis 1:1-2). And the first thing He created was light and He divided the light from the darkness. (Genesis 1:3-5). Even though God created light, He also separated the light from darkness. He called the light "day " and the darkness "night". And He also created nocturnal animals who will benefit from night time. He even created the moon and the stars in the sky to give light during the night. God wants life continue even if its dark. He does not want the darkness put a halt to His creation. God has been fair to all His creatures.
What is my point? God did not eliminated darkness from the earth because He want us to see the beauty of His creation not only during the time that we can clearly see them. He wants us to see the benefits of the darkness for all of us? He created the earth and the universe with balance so there are creatures who live into the darkness. There are birds who are awake during night and there are sea creatures who live deep down the abyss of the ocean floor and yet all of them are happy just like how happy are the daytime creatures. And creatures who live at night, life goes on for them although they are into the dark.

And for us people, we have different situations and our lives can never be always day time. There are moments that we are getting into the darkness but we can enjoy life even if we are in the darkest moment of our lives. Life will not stop just because we are experiencing tumultous life and full of darkness. Let the darkness we are into be our guiding path towards the light at the end of the tunnel.
Remember God is allowing us to go into the darkness because He is telling us that our lives are not all bed of roses. We need to experience problems, trials, sickness, frustrations, failures to make our faith stronger and we learn learn to look for the light we needed. He wanted us to look to Him because He is the God of light. And He is the Light that will let us overcome the darkest part of our lives. Don't be afraid to see yourself in darkness because the Light of God is always shining to shine upon us. Just keep the faith in God in the midst of darkness and let God shine upon us. We may be into the darkness but God is always there to put us out of the dark.
