God Wants to Meet You Even in the DarkShembull

Have you watched the pages of the calendar flip by or listened to the tick-tock of the clock counting out the hours year after year, wondering where God is in your life? God has not forgotten about you. God has a plan for you. If you are still here, that means there is still hope for a fresh encounter with God. God does some of His best work in the dark, in those times when we don’t think He is doing anything at all. While you may be wandering in the wilderness, God is working out the details of His plan. As Romans 8:28 says, “And we know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose.” A lot of people want an experience with God but do not want to hang out where God is located. They choose to place themselves outside of His vicinity. But if you want an experience with God, the first lesson to learn is that you must hang out where He is. Despite life’s challenges, are you making room for an encounter with the God who works in the dark?
