Faith in the dark: daily bible readings from Job

Author: George Phillip

Publisher: Rutherford House

ISBN 0-946068-84-4

“When the blackness settles on our souls in this total way, and there is no answer to the heart cries of earnest desire to God, we can be sure that Satan is at work with his accusations and lies, seeking to stir basic doubts abut God in our souls. But where is God and where are all his promises of victory?

Perhaps he is allowing you to plumb the depths of trial to prove to you how total is the victory he can give you. Perhaps you are involved in something bigger than you know. God’s activity in us, for us and through us can be far more extensive than we will ever be aware of this side of heaven. Faith trust in the dark even when it cannot see.”

Does daily living sometimes seem too much for you? Weary, perplexed and discouraged we at times may wonder what God is doing with us, and why. The experiences that come to God in their pilgrim journeys are many varied and can be bitter as well as sweet. But we learn in Exodus that God misses no opportunity for teaching us of himself and his good purpose for us.

 Full of insight into human failings, foibles, sins and self deceptions, Journey with God is even more impressive in its uncovering of God’s power and persistence, wisdom and grace. This is a fine multi-week companion to reading exodus. George Phillip is a knowledgeable, resourceful and reliable guide and an enthusiastic fellow-pilgrim on the way.
