About when you cannot find God…
John 10:27 My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me. 28 I give them
eternal life, and they shall never perish; no one can snatch them out of my hand. 29 My
Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all; no one can snatch them out of my
Father's hand. 30 I and the Father are one." (NIV)
In the daily travails of life, we sometimes lose contact with God. Our worries,
sufferings, and troubles so dominate us that we lose the spiritual connection to Him. Even
if we firmly believe we have lost contact with God, God has not lost contact with us. No
matter how far away God may seem, He is always present in His kingdom, and His kingdom is
within us. If we are trying to find God, we will find Him in His dwelling within us. When
we come to a place in life where we cannot find Him, we must stop and listen to His voice
within our heart. For Christ speaks to us day and night. We never truly lose God. When we
think we cannot find God we have not lost Him…we have only lost the connection to
Him. Indeed, in times of stress and strife, Satan delights in piling on the troubles so
high that we lose our spiritual connection to His love. In these times of suffering, we
must remember to take time to rest in His presence and listen to His gentle voice in the
silence of the moment.
