Find the treasures in the darkness.
Tuesday, March 31, 2009
I will give you the treasures of darkness, riches stored in secret places, so that you may know that I am the Lord, the God of Israel, who summons you by name.
Isaiah 45:3
What we perceive as dark periods in our lives are designed to be treasures from God. They are actually riches stored in secret places. We cannot see those treasures because of the often-accompanying pain or fear that prevents us from accepting them. God has a purpose for difficult times. "... so that you may know that I am the Lord, the God of Israel, who summons you by name."
Unless we are cast into times in which we are completely at God's mercy for breakthroughs in our lives, we will never experience God's faithfulness in those areas. We will never know how personal He is, or that He can be trusted to meet the deepest needs in our lives. God wants each one of us to know that we are "summoned by name". His love for you and me knows no bounds, and He will take every opportunity to demonstrate this to us.
Has God brought you into a place of darkness? Trust Him today to reveal that hidden treasures that can be found in this darkness. Let Him summon you by name.
Today's prayer meeting, i just felt so blessed. I felt the Lord's presence surrounding me. It was all so sincere. Hearts just cried out to Him. I'm thankful. Thankful that i have found the treasures within the darkness. Thankful that God has carried me through it all. Thankful, for everything God has bless me with. I cannot thank Him enough for He has done just so much for me. All Glory to God! His love is the same and will never change, today, now and forevermore.
