First of all, I have good news to share. When I went for my second physio-therapy session last Tuesday, the therapist exclaimed that she had not seen such quick progress in any of her patient with the same condition. Praise the Lord my Healer!
This week, I want to share with you the answer that the Lord gave to me as I sought Him.
Recently, due to the pressure of a career change and some other matters, I find myself reading but not comprehending His word, wanting but not receiving His anointing - oh how I long for the times that I was in close fellowship with Him. I felt drained. I prayed but received no certain answer.
I finally made a decision to cut myself out of all my busyness and find solitude time with Him. The fact is that He was not quiet but I was not listening, He was not absent but I did not acknowledge His presence. It was me who was distracted by other things. He was with me all the time!
Oswald Chambers said that sometimes God puts up through the discipline and experience of darkness to teach us to hear and obey Him. I cannot agree more. God is indeed good all the time and He never lets us out of His sight for one moment. But many a time we allow other things to cloud our fellowship with Him.
I am glad that He is the same yesterday, today and forever. And what He has told me "in the dark, I will speak out in daylight.." (Matthew 10:27) and hope that it will encourage you to always spend time with God alone to let Him speak.
And if you are going through a "dark" time now, may I encourage you to spend time listening to Him rather than asking for answers. The answer will come if we open our ears and heart to hear Him instead of opening our mouth too much, for when we do, we cut out His voice.
God bless.
Steven
