These passages were enlightening. The longer I walk with God the more I realize that I have so much more to learn about him. It is sometimes disheartening when I don’t feel him like I used to but I am determined not to allow myself to give into fear, pride and complacency; the fear that says he’s not near; pride thinking that I can make it without him and complacency that wants me to become lazy and distracted . That said if all I had to hold onto in a season of uncertainty it would be this, Phil.1:6
He who began a good work in me is going to finish it. This is my confidence and hope!
Here’s what I want to encourage you with: it’s not that you don’t feel God like you used to. It’s that you now experience him differently than you have before. Remember, the Israelites wanted to go back, but God needed them to understand how to be dependent even when he feels distant. You’ll never been in a season where God has diminished in your life, only in seasons where his presence has adjusted to what we need most. God’s presence never changes, but how we encounter that presence must. There’s a great purpose for every encounter, both strong and subtle. He’s doing a great work in you.
