Whenever I start feeling that God no longer sees me and from time to time, hears me, I love the stories of the Old Testament that show God has a long-term plan in place. Samson is such a story.
“A prophet who looked like an angel of God came and talked to me. I was so frightened, that I didn’t even ask where he was from. He didn’t tell me his name, but he did say that I’m going to have a baby boy. I’m not supposed to drink any wine or beer or eat any food forbidden by God’s laws. Our son will belong to God for as long as he lives.” – Judges 13:6-7 CEV
I know that God has an agenda – He wants to love people and bring them to Him – I know that because He loved me right into His Kingdom.
The Lord sets prisoners free
and heals blind eyes.
He gives a helping hand
to everyone who falls.
The Lord loves good people
and looks after strangers.
He defends the rights
of orphans and widows,
but destroys the wicked. – Psalm 146:7-9 CEV
Why else would He send Jesus, His Son, to die for me? And so when those doubts cross my mind, like they find a way to do and I feel that I am not seen or heard, I remember Jesus and what He did for me. More importantly, I remember that He rose from the dead and that His Spirit is in me and I am never left alone.
But Jesus said, “Why are you so frightened? Why do you doubt? Look at my hands and my feet and see who I am! Touch me and find out for yourselves. Ghosts don’t have flesh and bones as you see I have.” – Luke 24:38-39
Lord, I know You see me and hear me – always. I have no idea why such doubt crosses my mind from time to time but I am thankful they do not take complete control over me. Thank you for Your Word – it always changes me and brings me to a place of healing and holds me safe. I love You for loving me so much.
