Topic:
Where Is God?
This question is a result of our thirsting for God. In one of the
many contradictions we find in our faith, a godly and devout person has
a hunger within for God's presence, power, and wisdom. In Psalms 42:2,
we read, "My soul thirsts for God, for the living God."
(NIV)
When can I go and meet with God? Where is God, when God isn't there
to give you a direct answer? All people struggle with this question. The
Psalmist also wrote in Psalms 42:9 – 11, "I say to God my
rock, ’Why have you forgotten me? Why must I go about mourning,
oppressed by the enemy?’ My bones suffer mortal agony as my foes taunt
me, saying to me all day long, ‘Where is your God?’ Why are you
downcast, O my soul? Why so disturbed within me? Put your hope in God,
for I will yet praise Him, my savior and my God. (NIV) There has
always been a separation between God and man. Jesus came as a savior and
messenger to bridge the gap between man and God. The Holy Spirit today
serves as the bridge since Jesus cannot be with us physically. But the
separation still exists because of our sin. Although many people do not
like to hear the word, "repent", the act of repentance brings
us closer to God. With enough repentance, we are brought to the very
heart of God.
