When God Seems Distant- Remember

SCRIPTURE PASSAGE OF THE DAY

Psalm 22:1-5

1 My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? why art thou so far from helping me, and from the words of my roaring?

2 O my God, I cry in the day time, but thou hearest not; and in the night season, and am not silent.

3 But thou art holy, O thou that inhabitest the praises of Israel.

4 Our fathers trusted in thee: they trusted, and thou didst deliver them.

5 They cried unto thee, and were delivered: they trusted in thee, and were not confounded.

Have you ever found yourself in a season where it seemed as if God wasn't hearing you? It seemed as if God was very distant. In your darkest tear driven moments you didn't feel like you were being comforted? In the quiet of the midnight hour you couldn't hear anything from God. I have been there. Many Christians experience this season for a moment. In our despair all seems lost and we may feel all alone but thank God for the Holy Ghost. The Holy Ghost comes to minister and let us know that God is right there. Like David, we must realize that even in our darkest hours God is yet holy, He is yet almighty. In one breath David felt and spoke of his despair and with the second breathe he remembered who God was. He remembered that our forefathers trusted in God and God delivered them. He remember that they cried out to God and God heard their cry and came to their rescue. I encourage you today in your times of despair when all seem lost remember who God is. Remember what God has done. God has done it for you before and He will do it for you again!
