A Solemn Warning

This is a solemn warning to those who walk in darkness and who try to help themselves find the light.They are described as the kindling for a fire that is surrounding itself with sparks.
 
What does this mean? It means that when we are in darkness, the temptation is to find our own way without trusting in the LORD and relying upon Him. Instead of allowing Him to help us, we try to help ourselves.
 
We seek the light of the natural way and the advice of our friends.We reason out our own conclusions and thereby may be tempted to accept a path of deliverance that would not be of God at all.
 
The light we see may be the fires from our own kindling, or deceptive beacons leading us toward the danger of the rocks.  

And God will allow us to walk in the false light of those sparks, but the end will be sorrow.
 
Beloved, never try to get out of a dark place except in God’s timing and in His way. A time of trouble and darkness is meant
to teach you lessons you desperately need. 

Premature deliverance may circumvent God’s work of grace in your life.

Commit the entire situation to Him,and be willing to abide in darkness,knowing He is present.
 
Remember, it is better to walk in the dark with God than to walk alone in the light.

~From The Still Small Voice~
 
Stop interfering with God’s plans and with His will.Touching anything of His mars the work.  

Moving the hands of a clock to suit you does not change the time.You may be able to rush the unfolding of some aspects of God’s will, but you harm His work in the long run.

You can force a rosebud open, but you spoil the flower. 

Leave everything to Him, without exception. Not what I will, but what you will. Mark 14:36.  

~Stephen Merritt~
 
His Way God sent me on when I would stay (’Twas cool within the wood); I did not know the reason why.
 
I heard a boulder crashing by ’Cross the path where I had stood. He had me stay when I would go; “Your will be done,” I said.
 
They found one day at early dawn, Across the way I would have gone, A serpent with a mangled head. I ask no more the reason why, Although I may not see The path ahead, His way I go; For though I know not, He does know, And He will choose safe paths for me.
