Q: Where is GOD?
A: Everywhere!
I'm happy to inform you that God is there when you don't even think He is there. Sometimes when God shows up, we don't see Him & other times we blow Him off. Though there are many day to day trials & tribulations, God never leaves us. Some say, "Where was God when I really needed Him, I had Faith that it would all work out but it didn't?" Sorry to burst your bubble, but Faith doesn't prevent life from happening. You will never be happy when you are expecting the answers to it all. God works on His time, not ours. So now you say, "What's next?" "How do I get through all this?" Thankfully, we serve a forgiving & faithful God that let's us know that it is ok to grieve. To get through these hard times, we have to go through the grief process. Without this process we are at risk of living in the past continuously. This meaning, accept your losses, put safe people around you, replace what's lost, so you can prepare for what's next, and allow yourself to grieve (cry). Be vulnerable & receive comfort.
We humans have tendency to want to have control of life, but baby steps never hurt anyone. Let go & Let God!!
Once our grieving process(or whatever it is that makes us question, Where is God?) is over, the happiness that comes after is BEAUTIFUL. You no longer have to wonder, "Where is God?". "The eyes of the LORD are in every place, keeping watch." Proverbs 15:3. So my friends, our God is always around, in the words of Psalm 46:10 " be still & know that I am God". God is good, all the time.....
