The God who hides Himself

Truly, You are a God who hides Himself, O God of http://aikidoexpress.com/where-do-u-buy-viagra/ Israel, Savior! Isaiah 45:15

Have you ever felt as if God was absent from your life? I’m not talking about before you received Jesus as Lord of your life; I’m talking about since you’ve given your life to Him.

Let me share something that may help you—you’re not alone in this feeling. Sometimes the Living God withdraws—not His presence from your life—but the experience of His presence.

Why would He do such a thing to one of His children who so desperately longs for a touch from Him? Very possibly, one reason He does this is because we insist on “feeling” or “sensing” Him before we are willing to trust Him; we are determined to experience Him before we step out on the water by faith.

You might exclaim, But He told us He would provide all our needs according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus (see Philippians 4:19), and I need Him to give me a touch, a feeling, an experience!

Your need, however, is not to feel or experience right now or God would have provided that for you. Your need at this crucial time in your life is to trust, believe, and obey without any sense of God’s presence at all. And as you choose to compre cialis generico en linea sin receta trust Him despite what seems to be the lack of a touch; as you choose to believe Him without any feeling of His presence; and as you take a step of acheter kamagra en ligne republique tcheque obedience without any evident “Atta boy” from Heaven, you are—without a doubt—being watched, upheld, and supported by the Most High Himself.

God hides Himself from you at times to prompt you to lean on Him by faith alone—and to grow in your faith. If you’re going through a season in which He seems to be hidden from you, He is, nonetheless, very present in your life. He has not abandoned you, nor will He—ever.

…He [God] Himself has said, I will not in any way fail you nor give you up nor leave you without support. [I will] not, [I will] not, [I will] not in any degree leave you helpless nor forsake nor let [you] down (relax My hold on you)! [Assuredly not!] Hebrews 13:5b, AMP

…for we walk by faith, not by sight.  2 Corinthians 5:7
