God Does His Best Work in the Dark
Dr. Tony Evans
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 your destiny.
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. The pursuit of God includes the willingness and intention to go into His presence. Don’t settle for a long-distance relationship with God.
If you are open to a divinely-ordained kingdom encounter, remember that it may come when you least expect it.
When you experience something outside of normal patterns of your life, open your eyes. When you see things that don’t make sense, pay attention. If stuff just doesn’t add up, focus in. Because you may be on the verge of a divine kingdom encounter.
