How To Worship in Darkness!
"I will praise You with my whole
heart; before the gods I will sing
praises to You."
Psalm 138: 1
Andrew Murray was feeling unwell one day
when he wrote down a few paragraphs in
his journal. The last line was a summary:
“I am here (1) by God’s appointment,
(2) in His keeping, (3) under His training,
(4) for His time.”
Andrew Murray wrote down four reasons to
worship God even in times of trouble. When
we're where we are by God’s
appointment, in
His keeping, under His training, for His time,
what could we possibly have to worry about?
Those four points are usually what we
think when things are going well, when
we really feel like worshiping God.
But if they're true all the time, when things
are hard, why wouldn’t we worship God in
those times as well? We agree with Job:
“Shall we indeed accept good from God
and shall we not accept
adversity?”
(Job 2:10)
We don’t worship God because things
are good or otherwise. We worship Him
because of His sovereign oversight and
care for our life.
"Never doubt in the dark
what God told you in the
light."
V. Raymond Edman
