Hand in the Hand
“Who is among you that fears the Lord, that obeys the voice of his servant? He that walks in darkness and has no light, let him trust in the name of the Lord and rely upon his God” (Isa. 50:10).
What shall the believer do in times of darkness?
Times of darkness come to the faithful and believing disciple who is walking obediently in the will of God;
– seasons when he does not know what to do, nor which way to turn.
The sky is overcast with clouds.
The clear light of Heaven does not shine upon his pathway.
One feels as if he were groping his way in darkness.
Is that you?
What shall the believer do in times of darkness?
Listen!
“Let him trust in the name of the Lord, and rely upon his God.”
The first thing to do is do nothing.
This is hard for poor human nature to do.
There is a saying that runs thus:
“When you’re rattled, don’t rush!”
In other words, “When you don’t know what to do, don’t do it.”
We are to simply trust God.
While we trust, God will work.
The peace of God must quiet our minds and rest our hearts.
We must put our hand in the hand of God like a little child!
And let Him lead us out into the bright sunshine of His love!!
He knows:
The way out of the woods!
Let us climb up into His arms!
And trust Him to do the needful!!
Remember!
We are never without a pilot when we know not how to steer.
