THE CONDITION OF DARKNESS ++++++++++++++++++
Ø
The worst feature of darkness, it is so bewildering
Ø
You have 2 walk & and yet your way is hidden from your eyes
Ø
Tho hard work, won’t God help us who seek him?
Ø
While that may be certain, the difficulty is that we can’t
always see how
Ø
We look upward, and see no twinkling star
Ø
Downward and do not even find a glow worm
Ø
Surely we’ll see a candle in some window! But no!
Ø
We are lost as if in a dark wood
Ø
Have we not somewhere about us a match that we could strike?
Ø
We fumble for it; we find it, it is damp, we have a strike, but
no light
Ø
The question that now chills the heart is: “How can God deliver me?”
Ø
We do not see how God can make a way of escape our darkness
Ø
What simpletons we are to fancy that if we do not see a way of
deliverance God does not see one either!
THE RHINE RIVER++++++++++++++++
Ø
Travelers who have steamed up the Rhine River testify that if
you look before you, it often appears as if you can go no further
Ø
The river seems to be a lake
Ø
Great mountains and vast rocks block up all further advance
Ø
Suddenly there will be a turn in the stream, and at once a broad
waterway opens before you
Ø
It invites you to enter the heart of the country
APPLICATION ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Ø
Perhaps in God’s providence you are in one of those parts of the
river of your life where no progress appears possible
Ø
U are blocked up, turned off, or just plain angry
Ø
Any of these situations will cause darkness of mind
CONCLUSION ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Ø
Cease from this unbelieving bewilderment
Ø
Rest in the Lord, and wait patiently for him
Ø
He shall give you your heart's desire
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
