Where is Our God?
….. while they continually say unto me, Where is thy God? (Psa 42:3)


The question of the reality of God will never surface in our mountain top experiences or when no troubles loom. Can the reality of Him be known and experienced in the face of hardship or in the dungeon of despair? We can recount of former times when we diligently sought Him (Heb 11:6), but that even seemed to have accounted for nought.


Why art thou cast down, O my soul? ….. (Psa 42:5)


First deal with the despondency of our mind, will and emotions, conclude that there is no other hope save the mercy of Christ that will carry us through unto glory (Jude 1:21). Don’t deal with the situation or with the related parties, do the necessary in crying out (Psa 61:1,2) to Him then the Lord will show His light and graciousness in that dark hour.


And said unto him, Art thou he that should come, or do we look for another? (Mat 11:3)


In despair don’t seek deliverance from man, go directly to the Savior and He will reveal that our suffering for righteousness sake is not is vain (1 Pet 4:12, 13). Don’t run to man, run to the One Who authored the finishing of our faith (He 12:2) and we will be able to despise the shame of human contempt and endow us with the second wind toward the goal with a glorious end. He will command His lovingkindness and there will be a song unto God, for He is our life (Psa 42:8).
