Listening in the darkness....

"Whatever I tell you in the dark, speak in the light; and what you hear in the ear, preach on the housetops" (Matthew 10:27)

"Sometimes God puts us through the experience and discipline of darkness to teach us to hear and obey Him. Song birds are taught to sing in the dark, and God puts us into "the shadow of His hand" until we learn to hear Him (Isaiah 49:2). "Whatever I tell you in the dark..."--pay attention when God puts you into darkness, and keep your mouth closed while you are there. "
- Oswald Chambers, 'My Utmost for His Highest'
