Have you ever looked to the sky and asked that
very question? When we don’t understand pain or tragedy… When we have lost something/one dear… When life doesn’t make any sense… When horrible things happen to really great people… When we’ve followed the Lord with our whole heart and things still go wrong… When it seems like Satan is everywhere and God is nowhere… When we know in our minds that God is our Rock, but in our hearts it feels like all we’re standing on is shifting sand… When you sit in a room of hundreds but still feel completely alone…
Where are you God???
Would be nice to have a magical button that would answer that question. But the TRUTH is that God IS there. He’s everywhere. But we don’t always know His presence. In our minds we know that God will never leave us alone; we can read it in His Word, and His Word is His promise. (Hebrews 13:5b, Deuteronomy 31:6)
He can be trusted.
We have to make a conscience effort to remember that He is ALWAYS with us, ALWAYS Sovereign, ALWAYS trustworthy.
No matter where we find ourselves (Psalm 139)
No matter what muck and mire the world piles upon us (Psalm 40)
No matter what others say, do, or think (Psalm 13)
No matter what Satan tries to accomplish (John 17:15; 2 Thessalonians 3:3)
And even regardless of what we think of ourselves (John 1:12-13).
Where are you God?
God: Closer than you can ever imagine!
Trust me.
