Many ask the questions, “Where is God? How can I have a relationship with someone I can’t see?”
Such questions are very legitimate because as we are so used to living and walking in the flesh, we live and walk in the physical realm thinking, “If I can’t see it, it doesn’t exist.” As sensible as this comment first sounds, it doesn’t allow for the realm of the supernatural. God is supernatural for 2 Corinthians 3:17 says, “Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom.” He doesn’t dwell in buildings made with bricks and mortar but He dwells in the hearts and lives of His people.
When speaking with Nicodemus in John 3, He said in verse 8, “The wind blows wherever it pleases. You hear its sound, but you cannot tell where it comes from or where it is going. So it is with everyone born of the Spirit."
We can’t see God in the flesh but boy, we know His presence when He visits in all His glory and power!
Someone once asked evangelist, Dwight L Moody how he managed to remain so intimate in his relationship with Christ. He replied, “I have come to Him as the best friend I have ever found and I can trust Him in that relationship. I have believed He is Saviour; I have believed He is God; I have believed His atonement on the cross is mine, and I have come to Him and submitted myself on my knees, surrendered everything to Him, and gotten up and stood by His side as my friend, and there isn’t any problem in my life, there isn’t any uncertainty in my work but I turn and speak to Him as naturally as someone in the same room, and I have done it these years because I can trust Jesus.”
Do you have that same certainty – not the intellectual certainty but the supernatural certainty that Jesus is your best friend, One who you can talk too, One with whom you have that strong, close relationship, One of complete surrender to His will?
God bless you as you remain strong and prayerful in Christ, Daren
