When you are in the middle of a dark spell, dont rush to get out. Dont clamor for guidance or for someone to help you. Just listen. What is God trying to teach you? If you look somewhere else youll only cover the voice of God with your complaints. Dark times are your time to listen, not to whine and complain. If you are willing to give up looking for a quick answer and ready to wait for his response and his response alone, then you will find truth and hope. And at the end of your darkness you will find two things: happiness and humility. Once you have truly heard from God, you will feel like saying, Im such a dork! Hes been talking this whole time and I havent listened! You will see your own sinfulness and be embarrassed by it. Thats the humility part, and it will soften your heart and leave it ready for the seeds of Gods truth. Then you are ready to get the peace and hope that was promised you. Then your outlook will change from sadness to expectation, and your focus wont be on yourself anymore but will be on the powerful God, and what a better view that is! Humility save you from your emotional slavery. It brings back to a correct assessment of who you are and who Christ is in your life. Its weird but true; when you truly let go of fighting for yourself and your rights, thats when you get all that you need. What do you think you can lift higher--your own effort or the hand of God? God promises to lift you up! Devotions for the God Girl-Hayley DiMarco
