The heavens declare the glory of God;
the skies proclaim the work of his hands.
Day after day they pour forth speech;
night after night they reveal knowledge.
They have no speech, they use no words;
no sound is heard from them.
Yet their voice goes out into all the earth,
their words to the ends of the world.
In the heavens God has pitched a tent for the sun
Psalm 19: 1-4
There are times in our life when we feel distant from God.
There are times where we wonder if he is still there.
CAN YOU HEAR ME LORD?
DO YOU HEAR MY PRAYERS?
DO YOU HEAR MY CRIES?
DO YOU CARE?
What do we do when we feel like God is not there? We acknowledge it! We tell him how we are feeling. Once we've said all we have in our hearts to say.....we close our mouths & open our eyes. We look to see God at work around us. If we are struggling to see that....we look to nature (Which has always found a way to praise the Lord). The Earth still spins. The Sun still shines. The stars are still in the sky. The moon still lends its reflection to show us the way in the night. Birds take flight. Flowers dance in the breeze. God is still there. We see his handy work. We see the master artist who took so much care in creation...surely he still cares for me and the things that concern my heart. Without words...God speaks to me through his creation. He reassures me he is still God, he is still on the throne, he is still in control....and he still cares for me. Without words...he reminds me my story continues and he is not done working in & through me.
