Darkness matters...

My Utmost for His Highest
Oswald Chambers  

Little did I know that when I read this in an email this morning, that I needed it today!

"At times God puts us through the discipline of darkness to teach us to heed Him. 

Watch where God puts you into darkness, and when you are there keep your mouth shut. Are you in the dark just now in your circumstances, or in your life with God? Then remain quiet. If you open your mouth in the dark, you will talk in the wrong mood: darkness is the time to listen.

When you are in the dark, listen, and God will give you a very precious message for someone else when you get into the light."  Oswald Chambers
