Being Very Serious (Part 53)

We have been taught and have taught that Jesus is the same yesterday, today, and forever. He is immortal, omniscient, and omnipotent. Nothing escapes His view or vision and He is touched by the feeling of our infirmities. Yet, knowing all of this there are still times we feel that God is a million miles away from us. We can't reach out and touch Him tangibly like we do a loved one when fear grips us or something tragic happens. We cannot seem Him visibly with our eyes to know He is there, so frustration grips our hearts and we feel like He's no where to be found.

It is in those moments you have to understand the power of faith and the supernatural comfort it creates. Fear may have knocked you off course, but your faith answered and you realized God hasn't left you. What you become in those moments of doubt is God's gift to you. You are God's melody of life and He sings His song through you. You can never really go where God is not, and where He Is, all is well. He hasn't moved one bit.

No matter what is happening in your life, you know that God is waiting with open arms. He has promised you a safe landing, but not always a calm passage. Do your best for Him everyday and then sleep in peace knowing God is awake 24/7. God has a purpose and plan for you that no one else can fulfill. The will of God will never take you to where the grace of God will not protect you.

You are responsible for the effort put forth, not the outcome. You set your sail, but God makes the wind. Begin to sow and God will give you the seed. When God says "No", it's because He has something better in store for you. The task ahead of you is never as great as the power behind you, so don't try to give God instructions, just report for duty. It's your business to do God's business, and it's His business to take care of your business. Remember, His comfort is not freedom from the storm, but peace in the storm.

So if you're always running around looking for God? He's not lost. If you feel far away from God, remember He hasn't moved.
