Why doesn’t God just show up?

Some days it is just not clear where God is. He doesn’t seem to be anywhere around. Don’t see Him. Don’t hear him. Where is He I think. Why doesn’t He just show up?

Jesus challenges us to seek God. It requires a discipline to find Him some days. Jesus gives us a promise. Seek and I will find Him.

May I be disciplined and find Him. He is near.

Seek God, all you quietly disciplined people who live by God’s justice. Seek God’s right ways. Seek a quiet and disciplined life. Perhaps you’ll be hidden on the Day of God’s anger. Zephaniah 2:3

Calm me with His love

What is it about His love? It is so calming. I know He is here to save me. He is so happy I am back. He sings to me and calms me. All is well!!

Now that is good stuff. So very simple but powerful.

May I delight in His love. May He calm me as He sings to me.

Jerusalem will be told: ‘Don’t be afraid. Dear Zion, don’t despair.

Your God is present among you, a strong Warrior there to save you.

Happy to have you back, he’ll calm you with his love and delight you with his songs. Zephaniah3:14-17

Always good news

There is always good news with God. He is always happy to have us back when we miss His goal for us. He is strong and never grows tired. His love brings us peace and calms us. He is tickled pink to delight us. He is in a good mood and not upset with us.

Yes, there is always good news with God.

Jerusalem will be told:  “Don’t be afraid. Dear Zion, don’t despair. Your God is present among you, a strong warrior there to save you. Happy to have you back, he’ll calm you with his love and delight you with his songs. Zephaniah 3:16-17

May I be open to the good news and see that God is with me, powerful and delighted with me.
