Lonely Desperation

Yet did not the chief butler remember Joseph, but forgat him. (Gen 40:23)

There are times the Lord will bring us through to teach and present to us the revelation that only He is the Lord. These times are one of the darkest and loneliest, at the lowest points where the emphatic desperate cries for help seem to fall on deaf ears. Even if our cries are heard, nobody understands and any reaction from the hearers is inappropriate. There is a sense of death inside (Psa 105:18).

….. thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. (Psa 23:4)

The gracious God will not abandon His children, but take us through the valley of the shadow of death that we may experience firsthand His discipline and comfort. We avoid discipline because it hurts… don’t, if we do there will be life transforming divine intervention that will be missed. Keep our eyes on the Author and Finisher of our faith not on the insurmountable mountain of despair. Many man and woman of God had to go through times where nobody understands; but He does because there is a glorification He is working into us.
