Now from the sixth hour there was darkness over all the land unto the ninth hour. Matthew 27:45

The comfortable presence of God, which had all His life long sustained Him, began to withdraw from Him in the garden, and appeared to be quite gone when He was just in the article of death upon the cross; and meanwhile the waves of God’s wrath on account of sin began to break over His spirit, and He was in the condition of a soul deserted by God. Now sometimes believers come into the same condition, not to the same extent, but in a measure. Yesterday they were full of joy, for the love of God was shed abroad in their hearts, but today that sense of love is gone; they droop; they feel heavy. Now the temptation will be at such times for them to sit down and look into their own hearts; and if they do, they will grow more wretched every moment, until they will come well nigh to despair; for there is no comfort to be found within, when there is no light from above…Now observe our Lord. He is deserted of God, but instead of looking in, and saying, “My soul, why art Thou this? Why art Thou that? Why art Thou cast down? Why dost Thou mourn?” He looks straight away from that dried-up well that is within, to those eternal waters that never can be stayed, and which are always full of refreshment. He cries, “My God.” He knows which way to look, and I say to every Christian here, it is a temptation of the devil, when you are desponding, and when you are not enjoying your religion as you did, to begin peering and searching about in the dunghill of your own corruptions, and stirring over all that you are feeling, and all you ought to feel, and all you do not feel, and all that. Instead of that look from within, look above, look to your God again, for the light will come there.~ C. H. Spurgeon
