Seeking God | Day 9
There are times when we feel like the Lord does not see or hear us. Either you are facing a crisis moment or will be facing one in the future. Trials and hardships are not uncommon for God’s people. Charles Spurgeon once said, “Trials teach us what we are; they dig up the soil, and let us see what we are made of.” Something else to note as well, everybody, no matter whether they trust in Jesus or not, will face difficulties.
Isaiah 40:27-29
Why do you say, O Jacob, and speak, O Israel, “My way is hidden from the Lord, and my right is disregarded by my God” (28) Have you not known? Have you not heard? The Lord is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He does not faint or grow weary; his understanding is unsearchable. (29) He gives power to the faint, and to him who has no might he increases strength.
We live in a broken world that is waiting to be restored and redeemed. The Lord is continually and constantly telling us, “don’t be afraid of the crisis, anticipate it.” He is also saying, “I am in control, trust me. I am the Creator of everything, I won’t let you fall.” In desperate moments, let us lean in to the Lord and not away from Him. Let us put our minds and hearts on the things above where Christ is seated.
PRAYER – Read verse 29 again and pray that back to God. If you are desperate, tell the Lord that you are trusting in Him and need your strength renewed. Bring to Him all your pain right now.
