Deeper Still

Do not be afraid to meet God in the dark places.

When you think about the power of God, his grandeur and omnipotence you just expect him to grant you a free pass through life. He can do anything. You love him, you work for him, you serve him; through all of this you form a relationship with him. Then, when things happen in your life that "totally rocks your world" and send you to the edge, over the edge, and then into the edge of darkness all of sudden you begin to question God. You question why? Why did He do this? Why did He allow this to happen? These questions always lead to "why me?"

But, when you are in the dark places you learn to be quiet, be still, and let God reveal his love for you. Slowly, you begin to let God heal you and restore you. When you let go and let God step in what a spectacular view awaits you! All of sudden things come into focus. His light begins to shine. You experience his presence on a much deeper level. You feel His peace and you come to the realization that there can be joy in those moments of darkness.

Now, instead of the trials and sufferings separating you from God they bring you closer to Him. Closer to experiencing and loving Him. Closer to walking with Him deeper still.

Nehemiah 8:10 "... Do not grieve, for the joy of the Lord is your strength."

Let God whisper to you today "come deeper still".
