The greatest Psalms were written in the darkest of hours. Our greatest accomplishments, our greatest songs, poems, testimonies, life changes and wisdom come from our darkest hours.
We all have our dark, moments of agony even though one person's may be entirely different from another person's.
When we are in painful, terrible circumstances, we are in a position to turn it around and have something great come from it. Sure, we all wallow in self pity from time to time, but if we stop wallowing in self pity and make something happen from our most painful, darkest moments, great things will come of it.
You've heard the saying, "No pain, no gain" and there's truth to that.
Millions of people have been inspired by the Psalms written by David. David was in his darkest moments in life when he wrote many of the psalms that little did he know would inspire so many people even thousands of years after his death.
Find rest, O my soul, in God alone; my hope comes from him. He alone is my rock and my salvation; he is my fortress, I will not be shaken. My salvation and my honor depend on God; he is my mighty rock, my refuge. Trust in him at all times, O people; pour out your hearts to him, for God is our refuge.Psalms 62:5-8
Here are some examples of people's darkest moments:
*A husband and sold breadwinner loses his job, can't support his family, and his house may be foreclosed on.
*Someone deals with the pain of loneliness and feeling like they don't belong in the world daily. Christmas and their birthday come and go without a single phone call, gift, or card.
*Someone finds out that their spouse has cancer.
*A student is bullied in school relentlessly seemingly for no reason other than to be to pick on by the bullies.
*Someone finds out that the people they once thought were their best friends were never friends at all and feels used and abandoned.
*Someone is betrayed and stabbed in the heart by the person they were closest to.
*A couple happily expecting a baby has a miscarriage.
*Someone is angry about being lied about having false rumors spread.
All of these situations and the lives of these people are as different as night and day, but each person is going through their own personal hell.
It seems the person who's spouse has cancer is going through a worse time than the person who has false rumors spread about them. That may be, but it doesn't negate the fact that the person dealing with rumors or the person dealing with loneliness is going through their darkest moments. Each person's darkest moments can be so different. The couple where a spouse who has cancer may be relishing every second of their life while the lonely person has no one to share or relish times with.
By taking on a different mindset and doing something positive with our pain, grief, and anger, something great will come out of our darkest moments.
We also learn the most about ourselves, others, life, and priorities during our darkest moments.
They may not be any fun, we may go through pain we feel nobody can understand, but when it's all over, something good can be the end result of our darkest hours.
