The darkroom is not just a place of waiting — it’s a place of working. In the darkness, God is developing in us the depth, strength, and character required to handle the light.

In the dark, the image changes from invisible to visible. The conditions you can’t control are the ones God uses most to shape you.

Continuing from where we left off last week, in this part 2, Joseph is given favor while in prison, as leader of the prisoners.

[holding in my hand] This strip of film has already been exposed. Light has already touched it. The moment is there — it’s permanent — but invisible. It doesn’t matter how closely you look right now; you won’t see the image. But given time, in the right environment, handled by skilled hands, it will reveal what was always there.

God does this in our lives. He gives a moment of exposure — a vision, a promise, a calling — and then moves us into a darkroom season where it’s remains unseen and yet unfulfilled, but still real.

The dream God gave you is already real, it’s just not visible yet. The dark room seasons are where faith is forged and the image becomes clear.
