Where are you God?

About God's presence in my previous post what I meant was a spiritual presence. It is not like God is leaving us. God is the God of Immanuel. When we can't feel the presence of God, what happen is we're falling away from God. Paul said (Rom 8:38, 39) nothing can separate us from the love or presence of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord. It is sin; our disobedience to God causes us to separate from His presence.

We like to think that if we go to church, we'd feel His presence. If we come to pray to Him, we'd feel His presence, but we know this is not true. There are times we did all these and yet we can't sense His presence.

We imagine that we can lock God in a room and so when we come to Him, we'd find His presence. How naive are we sometimes. King Solomon knew better that it is impossible to take captive of our mighty God.

After the completion of the temple he prayed, "But will God really dwell on earth with men? The heavens, even the highest heavens, cannot contain you. How much less this temple I have built! (2 Chronicles 6:18a)

So, where are you God?

You'll know it when He is there…by the Spirit He gave us. (1 John 3:24b). Amen.
