「摩西就挨近神所在的幽暗。」－出埃及記20:21
不要懼怕，只管安然的接受生命中無法理解的事，且要恆切等候。屆時祂要揭露黑暗中的寶藏、隱藏中的榮耀。
奧秘，不過是神遮蓋祂榮面的紗幔。
不要畏懼走入生命必經的黑雲，因為神在其中，而烏雲的彼端就是神燦爛的榮耀。
「有火煉的試驗臨到你們，為要試煉你們，不要以為奇怪，似乎是遭遇非常的事，倒要照著你們有分於基督苦難的多少而歡樂。」－彼得前書4:12-13當你感到孤單無助，四面無援時，要記得，祂離你並不遠。不要試圖閃躲生命中密佈的黑雲，因為在祂蔭蔽的天幕底下，你會發現，祂正在等候著你。－選
一位醫生從洛磯山脈上觀看山底下的狂風暴雨。
他看到一隻老鷹向上直衝出層層的烏雲，向著太陽飛去；所有打在牠身上的水珠都在光中閃耀，如同一顆顆精雕細琢的美鑽。
若不是因著風暴，牠可能還在山谷中低旋。同樣的，人生的苦難也會迫使我們向神直奔。
"Moses drew near unto the thick darkness where God was" (Exod. 20:21).God has still His hidden secrets, hidden from the wise and prudent. Do not fear them; be content to accept things that you cannot understand; wait patiently. Presently He will reveal to you the treasures of darkness, the riches of the glory of the mystery. Mystery is only the veil of God's face.
Do not be afraid to enter the cloud that is settling down on your life. God is in it. The other side is radiant with His glory. "Think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you; but rejoice, inasmuch as ye are partakers of Christ's sufferings." When you seem loneliest and most forsaken, God is nigh. He is in the dark cloud. Plunge into the blackness of its darkness without flinching; under the shrouding curtain of His pavilion you will find God awaiting you. --Selected
As Dr. C. stood on a high peak of the Rocky Mountains watching a storm raging below him, an eagle came up through the clouds, and soared away towards the sun and the water upon him glistened in the sunlight like diamonds. Had it not been for the storm he might have remained in the valley. The sorrows of life cause us to rise towards God.
