Devotional – God Will Not Walk Out On You! – David Wilkerson
A young pastor called me some time ago, ready to quit the ministry. The Lord had been using this young man in a wonderful way. But now he was discouraged – feeling worthless, useless, no good to God at all.
You see, he and his wife had been having a lot of marital troubles. They’d had terrible arguments, and it kept getting worse. He said he had prayed for months that God would heal their relationship, but it had only gotten worse. He told me he’d spent more time praying about that than anything else in his life and ministry.
Then late one evening, after a devastating argument with his wife, he walked out. Immediately, he let out his anger at God. “Why won’t You help us, Lord?” he cried.
In his anger and despair, he went back to an old habit from which he had been delivered – alcohol. He said, “I just lost it completely. I went out and started to drink.” He came home in the wee hours of the morning, nearly drunk. His wife panicked at seeing him that way; suddenly it looked as if it had developed into a hopeless nightmare.
Instead of repenting after his drinking episode, the young man did what Adam did in the Garden: He hid himself from God! He told his wife, “It’s no use. I might as well quit the ministry and get a job pumping gas. I can’t face you or anybody else over this.”
When he called me, he was devastated. He said, “Brother Dave, I feel like quitting. I just can’t face this. I drank, but I hated every minute of it. I said to myself, ‘Why am I doing this?’ I knew it was because I was angry at God. Why hadn’t He heard my prayers?”
He sounded so broken, so beaten down. I felt no judgment toward this man. On the contrary – I felt only God’s love and compassion for him.
Now, what he’d done was utterly terrible. When a preacher has an argument with his wife, he doesn’t just go out and drink. No – he runs to God, to his secret closet. Indeed, all of us are to trust the Lord in such a time. We’re to cry out to Him, “Father, take this burden from me!”
I didn’t lecture the young pastor or rebuke him. Instead, I began to pray silently: “Dear Lord, what can I say to this man that will heal his troubled soul? What do You have for him – what comfort from Your Spirit, Your Word?”
