When God seems distant..., how does He expect me to worship Him?
It's true, "The situations that will stretch your faith most will be those times when life falls apart and God is nowhere to be found."
Ever felt like God was a million miles away from you?
I wonder what Don Moen was going through when He wrote the lyrics of the song "I will sing." I also wonder what the other singer meant when he sung, "Tambarare kwa Yesu hakuna Milima..."
When is the last I (you) had an encounter with God that knocked me (you) off my (your) horse?
Yes, I believe it is God's pleasure to woo me to an intimate relationship with Him but I seem to be lost in my own vast world thinking, why is it that sometime He seems a million miles away? Why is that sometimes it's hard to see all the thoughts and plans He has for me?
In my darkest hour, through the sorrow and the pain does He expect me to pray, sing and praise Him? Does He expect me to lift my hands to honor and trust Him? Do I see His grace in my life?
Like me, have you found yourself asking, "Why am I searching for God? Is God pursuing me as much as I am pursuing Him?" May be you have or you have not.
Psalm 43:5; 42:11 says, "Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted within me? Hope in God: for I shall yet praise Him, who is the health of my countenance, and my God." (KJV)
Have you ever felt angry and resentful at God?
So if that how I (you) have been feeling, what then is the way forward?
1. It is likely that I need to confess some hidden anger and resentment at God for certain areas of my life where I have felt cheated or disappointed...
2. I'm making a deliberate decision to rekindle my intimate friendship with God
3. I will focus on who God is-His unchanging nature.
4. I will be honest with God-tell Him how exactly I feel not how I think I ought to feel.
5. I will remember what He has done for me in the past and continue to trust Him.
Does anyone understand what am talking about? If it makes sense, then you know what to do.
With luv,
Kachel
