the day star
When you suppose that you are as it were lost, our Lord will help you, as Job says: “Life will be brighter than noonday, and darkness will become like morning.” That is to say, when you are brought so low by laboring in temptation that it seems there is no help or comfort for you but as if you were a man destroyed, yet pray to God, and indeed you shall suddenly spring up as the day star in gladness of heart, and have true faith in God as Job says.
