Raymond Edman, one of Billy Graham’s mentors, once said, “Never doubt in the dark what God told you in the light.”
“Now that the
worst is over, we're pleased we can report that we’ve come out of this with
conscience and faith intact, and can face the world — and even more importantly, face you with our heads held high. But it
wasn’t by any fancy footwork on our part. It was God who kept us focused on
him, uncompromised” (2 Corinthians 1:12 MSG).
Regardless of your circumstances and how you feel,
hang on to God’s unchanging character.
The Bible says in 2 Corinthians 1:12, “Now that the
worst is over, we’re pleased we can report that we’ve come out of this with
conscience and faith intact, and can face the world — and even
more importantly, face you with our heads held high. But it wasn’t by any
fancy footwork on our part. It was God who kept us focused on him,
uncompromised” (MSG). Your circumstances cannot
change the character of
God. God’s grace is still in full force. He is still for you, even when you
don’t feel it.
Remind yourself what you know to be eternally true
about God: He is good, he loves you, he is with you, he knows what you’re
going through, he cares, and he has a good plan for your life.
Raymond Edman, one of Billy Graham’s mentors, once
said, “Never doubt in the dark what God told you in the light.”
So, what has God told you in the light that you now
doubt in the dark? Why do you think you doubt God now? Remember, your
circumstances cannot change the character of God.
Talk It Over
- What have
you learned about God and his love for you in the good times of your
life?
- How will
those truths help you get through the difficult seasons of your life?
- What
promises from God’s Word can encourage you when you start to doubt?
