The Lord has hidden Himself from His people, bit I trust him and place my hope in Him.
ISAIAH 8:17 (TEV)
"The deepest level of worship is praising God in spite of pain, thanking God during a trial, trusting him when tempted, surrendering while suffering, and loving Him when he seems distant." p107
"During times of spiritual dryness you must patiently rely on the promise of God, not your emotions, and realise that he is taking you to a deeper level of maturity. " p111
"Remember what God has already done for you. If God never did anything else for you, he would still deserve your continual praise for rest of your life because of what Jesus did for you on the cross. God's Son died for you! This is the greatest reason for worship. p112
"Jesus gave up everything so you could have everything. He dies so you could live forever. That alone is worthy of your continual thanks and praise. Never again should you wonder what you have to be thankful for." p113
Point to Ponder: God is real, no matter how I feel.
Verse to Remember: " For God has said, "I will never leave you; I will never abandon you." HEBREWS 13:5 (TEV)
Question to Consider: How can I stay focused on God's presence, especially when He feel distant?
