Disappeared or Appearing...

Sometimes we just don’t understand why God has planned our lives the way He has and we pray for understanding and relief but in return sometimes we only receive God’s silence.  From scripture Job 1:1 we learn that Job was a blameless and upright man, one who feared God and shunned evil.  He was a man that had everything yet Job lost everything and on top of that when he cried out to God, God remained silent as if He’d disappeared.  However Hebrews 12:6 tells us that the Lord chastens those that He loves and in 2 Chronicles 32:31 we learn that God left Hezekiah to test Him. One of Job’s friends Elihu told Job that even though you can’t see God, trust in Him.  It’s so easy to wonder where God is when we’re alone and feel that we need Him the most.  When our backs are against the wall or even when the walls are closing in on us.  But it’s during these times that we seek God the most.  I believe it’s during these times that we find out who God really is in His omnipotence.   So really when it seems that God has disappeared He is really appearing and showing us who He is in all of His glory.   Light always shines through the darkness.  We just can’t see it through our flesh, only through the spirit of faith.  Help me Lord to see your light through the darkness around me.  God is so good.  This is our year.  Beauty for ashes.
