Where are you God?

“Also Your righteousness, O God, is very high, You who have done great things; O God, who is like You? You, who have shown me great and severe troubles, Shall revive me again, And bring me up again from the depths of the earth. You shall increase my greatness, And comfort me on every side.” Psalm 71:19-21

David, the author of this Psalm, lived for God and recognized His greatness and purity. God allowed David to touch His glory and see that no one can compare to God. David knew in his heart that his only hope was in God.

Then God allowed severe troubles to overwhelm David almost to the point of death. It was like “I have shown you who I am and now you have to trust Me without any evidence of My
presence.”

God takes you up to His holy mountain and then intentionally allows you to drop into a pit of adversity. It seems like He has forgotten about you. You feel shut out. This trial is to test your faith and build your patience and endurance in God.

You cry out to God day after day trusting in His faith and at times you feel like you are clinging to Him by a sliver of hope. God is faithful and He will revive you in His perfect timing. He will deliver you and restore every aspect of your life with His mighty hand.

This is the nature of God. If you are serious about walking with Him, God will take you on a roller coaster ride experiencing both the highs and lows. The saving grace of God is His Word! He keeps His promises!
