“Why,
Lord, do you stand far off? Why do you hide yourself in times of trouble?” Ps. 10:1 NIV
I
believe David said those words, and I believe that’s how he was feeling. But his
perception of the situation was incorrect. God wasn’t hiding!
If
we’re not connecting with God, there are two possible causes. First, is
something in the way? Sin would be the obvious culprit, causing you to avoid
God, just like Adam and Eve did when they sinned in the Garden of Eden. Turns
out that God wasn’t hiding – Adam and Eve were the ones hiding! Our sin could
be too much work, too much recreation, addictions, etc. – anything that sets
aside the 1st commandment of keeping God first in your life.
Second,
are you facing the right direction? Are you facing God, seeking light – or have
you turned from it? God is right where he’s always been – he didn’t move! It is
us, the humans, who from time to time turn away from the light, and then wonder
why life is so dark. Duh! “Seek first the kingdom…”
Jesus
said that he is the light of the world. He came to rescue mankind from eternal
darkness. Hope to meet you in the light!
