My soul waits in silence for God only;
from Him is my salvation.
Psalm 62:1
I've had times when I've found myself wondering about the
things I've believed and preached for years. What happened? Had God died?
No. My vision just got a little blurry. My circumstances
caused my thinking to get a little foggy. I looked up, and I couldn't see Him
as clearly.
That's what happened to John Bunyan back in the seventeenth
century in England .
He preached against the godlessness of his day, and the authorities shoved him
into prison. . . .
But because Bunyan firmly believed God was still alive and
working, he turned that prison into a place of praise, service, and creativity
as he began to write Pilgrim's Progress, the most famous allegory in the
history of the English language.
When we hit a tough spot, our tendency is to feel abandoned.
. . . In fact, just the opposite is true, for at that moment, we are more than
ever the object of God's concern.
