Questions Kids Ask

What Bible verse reminds kids that God's light shines even in the dark?

Psalm 18:12 talks about the brightness that shines out from God, His radiance, even in the middle of a dark storm (Psalm 18:12). It is like the sun breaking through gray clouds and lighting everything up, only God's brightness is even greater, and the dark cannot put it out. So when your room feels dark and quiet tonight, remember the brightest light there is, is right here with you.
