God is with us. When we can’t see Him, He sees us. When we can’t feel Him, His heart is moved toward us. He knows what He is seeking to accomplish in our lives even when we are asking, “Why”? We live in the assurance that He is God and is doing something in our lives beyond our present comprehension. Our task is not to figure out everything but to trust and obey in all things.
“Behold, I go forward but He is not there, And backward, but I cannot perceive Him; When He acts on the left, I cannot behold Him; He turns on the right, I cannot see Him. But He knows the way I take; When He has tried me, I shall come forth as gold.” Job 23:8-10 (NASB)
