God's presence is not the same as the feeling of God's presence, and He may be doing most for us when we think He is doing least.
C.S. Lewis
It’s easy to feel that God is stagnant.
You beg him to move, and his hand seems still.
When Abraham and Sarah wanted a child, and God will promised a son, it wasn’t immediate.
It seemed as God had forgotten his word.
But he was lining up everything perfectly, directing, positioning, moving, all when they thought he had forgotten them.
When the children of Israel were enslaved, they cried to their Deliverer many times. And it seemed as if he had grown deaf.
But all the while, he was protecting, leading, growing, calling Moses.
When Saul was chasing David through hills and caves, it seemed as if God had forgotten the anointing he had placed on David.
But the whole time, he was orchestrating a perfect plan, he was moving, and positioning the exact moment that David would take the throne.
When Jesus lay in the tomb, his disciples shattered, everything seemed to have collapsed. The One who had breathed life back into Lazarus, now lay still and cold in a tomb. But Jesus was doing more than they could see.
His life wasn’t taken, it was laid down in sacrifice. But it felt as if they had been robbed of their King. But the way they felt didn’t change the fact that he was doing MORE when it seemed he was doing the least.
He is doing the most when our eyes see the least. He is moving, he is not stagnant. Your life is not stagnant. He is doing the most in these days where your feelings say he is doing the least. Feelings aren’t facts, they aren’t God. He is God, and he is moving. He never stopped.
