Talk Tuesday-Dark Before the Morning
In the search for a clip for Movie Monday I came across the video for the song, ”Before the Morning” by Josh Wilson. There is an amazing testimony by the father of the boy who the song is written about. The father is told that the boy will not live past four days from his birth. If you do anything today, look at the video I posted for Movie Monday.
The song talks about the ‘dark before the morning’ or the ‘hurt before the healing’. As I looked at the video tears began to run down my face as I recalled what Tash and I had to go through the last two years. I remembered trying to be strong when the doctor told us the news that she had to do surgery. Then when we were told that we had to do it a second time in less than a year, I was more than upset. That was definitely the 'dark before the morning'.
Maybe you are going through something right now and you can’t even think about the morning, but God WILL take you through this. God IS faithful. The song also has a line in it that says, ‘life is not a snapshot.’ If I believed that our future was dependant on the snapshot after the 2nd surgery or even the first, I would not have the hope I have now. God has done an awesome thing in my life and in my wife’s life that might not have happened any other way. God has allowed us to bless people we would not have ever met if it wasn’t for this storm. So you might be going through a storm now but hold on for this is the ‘dark before the morning.’
"...weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning." Psalm 30:5

Comments
Although it was inconvenient to be unemployed, I knew that my God was in full control of the situation. At one point though, after an unsuccessful interview, I admitted that I knew He was in control, but I felt disenchanted at not being chosen for a position I was well-qualified for. I do know though, that God does everyting in His own timing. I have not only been offered a new position, but it is even better than I could ever imagine. Quite rightly, Job 42:10 (KJV) states that "...the Lord gave Job twice as much as he had before." Joy does indeed come in the morning.
Importantly, during my trial I kept far away from persons who I knew would utter negative comments, although perhaps they would have perceived them to be well-meaning, such as "Haven't you got a job yet?" or even "Any news about work?" During Job's trial, he was inundated by comments that accused him of wrongdoing, insinuating that he was being punished for sin he committed, which was far from the truth.
During our trials, we need to look to the Author and Finisher of our faith, for all answers, guidance and relief. After all, God says quite clearly in Isaiah 60:22 (KJV) "I the Lord will hasten it in his time."
Be blessed!
Ephesians 6:13 "Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand."
Blessed, we humbly thank you for sharing such a powerful testimony! Wow, I stand amazed yet again, in utter awe of GOD. HE IS FAITHFUL. Wow! We just have to hold on to Him. You aptly remind us to fix our eyes on Jesus, the Author and Perfecter of our faith. Thank you, once again, for your transparency.
As the days seem to grow dark, we can hear a familiar rumbling, knowing that we must look up in expectation, knowing that our redemption draweth nigh.
Revelations 22:12-17
12"Behold, I am coming soon! My reward is with me, and I will give to everyone according to what he has done. 13I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End.
14"Blessed are those who wash their robes, that they may have the right to the tree of life and may go through the gates into the city. 15Outside are the dogs, those who practice magic arts, the sexually immoral, the murderers, the idolaters and everyone who loves and practices falsehood.
16"I, Jesus, have sent my angel to give you this testimony for the churches. I am the Root and the Offspring of David, and the bright Morning Star."
17The Spirit and the bride say, "Come!" And let him who hears say, "Come!" Whoever is thirsty, let him come; and whoever wishes, let him take the free gift of the water of life.
Thanks Isha for reminding us about the supernatural protection that GOD provides for us in our battles ... in ABUNDANCE ... we so often forget!! Thanks for the inspiring videos as well. Man tends to speak doom, gloom and death, but God speaks and breathes LIFE into any situation He is involved in!
Thank you Blessed for sharing your testimony and reminding me about the importance of how I ask questions ... that could be negative and discouraging.
Thanks all of you!
Thanks,
