Do ever have days when you feel like God is far away? Well, don't feel like you're the only one! We all feel like that at times. Even David cried out to God, "Why are you standing aloof and far away? Why do you hide when I need you the most?" Ps. 10:1 TLB.
I don't know why--maybe it is the hurricane, maybe the election, maybe just ordinary life, but we have both felt a little distant from The Lord for a couple days: just not ourselves. We pondered on that, and prayed about it. We tried to figure out what we have been doing differently that would cause us to feel this way.
I asked Pat to start today's blog, and help answer the question where is God? I'm happy to say He is there all the time! In life I feel there are times of testing, everything is going along better then average, then a spiritual dry time. Do we believe what we have been preaching, are we actually trusting The Lord with all of our heart, and not leaning on our own understanding. In the battle of life it is imperative.
I had a friend Ron (he has gone to be with The Lord ) who visited our church. He shared his mothers favorite saying "do not despise the thing that drives you to your knees it keeps you close to God". How true! Like I said He is there all the time. The question is always where are we?
I am not surprised when dry times come, but amazed that we keep having to go through the same experience every time, and question. Where is God?
