HWMR-CAPTIVES OF CHRIST

A Lover of the Lord Jesus Christ

The Omnipotent God we Serve is Hiding Himself, Especially when He is Helping us and Working in us

The Bible clearly says that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose (Rom. 8:28).

However, the God who works out all things that they would turn out to good to us is a God who is hiding Himself.

The omnipotent God whom we are serving is still hiding Himself, especially when He is helping us and working within us (John 14:26).

We may have a certain sickness and may be rushed to the emergency room, with surgery being scheduled promptly, and man would do everything possible to take care of this emergency.

But the One who is really in control is God, for He is with us, He helps us, and without Him, we cannot go through all these things.

Yet this One is a hidden God, for He is hiding Himself; we may see Him yet could not find, for He is hiding.

He is active in our environment to arrange all things, and He is very active even in our being to operate in us both the willing and the working for His good pleasure.

Yet He is hidden, concealed, and we cannot see Him or touch Him with our eyes.

Sometimes we may look back at our situation and history and we realize that it was God who did this, and it was Him who took care of that.

We may consider our life when we were young, the university we went to, the people we met, the saints we met and when we met them, and the fact that today we’re in the church life, and though we realize it had nothing to do with us, we clearly see that God was working in all these things.

Our finding a spouse, the timing, and the whole process, it was all under God’s sovereignty, and He brought us together for His purpose.

So there are many retroactive Thank You Lord for all that He has done in us and among us. And He does this again and again.

We are so focused on our present problems, our current situation, and the things at hand, but God is working tirelessly and ceaselessly, yet in a hidden way.

We cannot see Him and, apparently, He is not doing anything.

If we look at the situation in the world today, it seems that God is not present, that He is not in control, for He tolerates so much of the evil that is happening today.

We may bring the current immorality, evil, and rebellion before God, and we may ask Him to do something about it, yet it seems that He does not hear us, for He is hidden.
