Stops & Steps 1787 03Sep2011

In the dark times


We have all had times when we experienced the nearness and greatness of God. He is always near us, drawing us closer to Himself. We are conscious of God’s workings in our lives and showing us what HE wanted us to do. HE had helped us overcome many obstacles and had provided for all our needs. We feel God’s presence with us throughout each day. It is because we know that we can do nothing in ourselves, and we depend upon HIM for strength and wisdom every day. HE gives us grace, courage and joy in everything we do.

Sometimes we do not feel God’s nearness. There have been testings and trials, failures and disappointments. It is during such times that we must remember that God has always been at our side, as well as in our heart. We do not feel HIS nearness, maybe we have ceased quoting Scriptures to remind ourselves that we could serve God only in HIS strength. We must always remind ourselves that we have to wholly rely upon Him for every word and deed we say and do.

Philippians 4:13
I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.
