Today's post is from the book "Just Enough Light for the Step I'm On" by Stormie O'Martian.
Often when we find ourselves in the midst of a dark situation, we immediately believe we must be out of the will of God. That might be true, but if we've been living in obedience to the Lord to the best of our ability, we are more likely right in the center of God's will.
In fact, God's will can lead us into some very dark circumstances. Oswald Chambers said, "Let it be understood that the darkness our Lord speaks of is not darkness caused by sin or disobedience, but rather darkness caused by excess light... Such times of darkness come as a discipline to the character and as the means of fuller knowledge of the Lord."
When we find ourself in the dark, we must STOP what we're doing, LOOK for His light, and LISTEN for His voice. If He is directing us, yet we ignore it, fail to see it, refuse to do it, run from it, don't comprehend it, or deliberately disobey it, we will be miserably lost.
We have to be still and know that He is God.
