Wow, today was a toughie... There were many times that I felt like God was just sitting back and watching me squirm. Go figure that the chapter I need to read tonight is about God being distant, but not really being distant. He is testing my faith. Will I continue to love, trust, obey and worship Him even when I have no sense of His presence?? Not sure whether I passed that test today, but I'm not going to stop trying my best everyday to be the woman He wants me to be.
There was a part in this chapter that I just loved. We are such a people of feelings and experience, but God wants us to trust when we don't "feel" that He is there. We have to come to the realization that God is always with us. In times of trouble and joy we have to remember and be thankful for what He has already done for us. Jesus died on the cross so that we may be forgiven of our sins, thats how much God loves us! Very simple, but often forgotten...
I put the lyrics to my new favorite song on my personal blog. http://elzbth8fhl.blogspot.com/ It is called "Never Alone," by Lady Antebellum. I think about God singing it to me... Download it if you think you might like it. Its a country group, btw :)
