‘There are times in your spiritual life when there is
confusion, and the way out of it is not simply to say that you should not be
confused. It is not a matter of right and wrong, but a matter of God taking you
through a way that you temporarily do not understand. And it is only by going
through the spiritual confusion that you will come to the understanding of what
God wants for you. (see Luke
11:5-8). Jesus gave the illustration here of a man who appears not to care
for his friend. He was saying, in effect, that is how the heavenly Father will
appear to you at times. You will think that He is an unkind friend, but
remember? He is not. The time will come when everything will be explained.
There seems to be a cloud on the friendship of the heart, and often even love
itself has to wait in pain and tears for the blessing of fuller fellowship and
oneness. When God appears to be completely shrouded, will you hang on with
confidence in Him?’ CHAMBERS
You know all of the verses about God and His provision, His
love, His grace, His mercy. Then you ask, “But why am I in this place?” We have
an idea about what God should do .. if He really loves me … but He knows what
is best to do .. and that best may make me a tad uncomfortable. Well, maybe more than a tad. The question is .. can we rest in knowing
that in spite of what we are experiencing .. feeling .. losing … that Romans
8:28 is true .. all things will work together for good .. for our good. Joseph told his brothers that ‘What men
intended for evil God meant for good.” That
is after he was sold as a slave, by them, sent to prison for over 15 years … But
God used all of it for His glory. Genesis
50:20 Are you ready to bring glory to God through your circumstances ..
difficult as it might be? You won’t do
it by will power … only by faith. And as
the man said to Jesus, ‘Lord I believe, but help me with my unbelief’. Mark
9:17-26 ELGIN
