Ferdinand Deist het 'n boekie gehad wat ek jare gelede vir iemand? geleen het wat dit NOOIt terugbesorg het nie, met die titel: "Tussen Angs & Sekerheid" (ek wens ek kan my hande weer op die boekie le..?)
While you are in the pit of adversity, you feel that your world is collapsing, that your life is out of control--and that God is ........silent.
The silence of a black hole is deafening.
You feel isolated and alone.
You question God's love, His care for you, and even His existence.
But even when it seems that God is distant and silent, your "heat shield" is still there, firm and reliable.
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 times in this light because of the often-accompanying pain or fear that prevents us from accepting these times as treasures.
They have a particular purpose from God's viewpoint:
"...so that you may know that I am the Lord...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 of us to know that we are "summoned by name."
Every hair of our head is numbered.
He knows every activity we are involved in........!
His love for you and me knows no bounds, and He will take every opportunity to demonstrate this to us.
In our black hole experience, God is teaching us to go deeper into your relationship with Him. You may think that your life is out of control and burning like a meteor, but in reality God, your heat shield, still protects you from the fiery forces that surround you.
Has God brought you into a place of darkness?
Trust Him today to reveal that hidden treasure that can be found in this darkness.
Let Him summon you by name.
Continue to TRUST Him with all of your heart, nerve & sinew.....!
...you WILL NOT be disappointed !
Shalom
