This morning we had our cell group and the discussion was about the presence of God. We pondered over the question "How do we tend to respond to God when we are truly seeking His presence, but He seems elusive?
Samuel Brengle in his book "Heart Talks on Holiness" has this to say.
"Today our pulse is full and we feel strong to chase a thousand; tomorrow we are feeble and broken and life is a burden. Today we pray and God hears us before we call and answers while we are yet speaking; tomorrow we plead and weep and moan and the heavens seem shut, and the mocking tempter whispers, "Where is thy God now?' What means all this uncertainty and mystery of pleasure and pain. of hope and despair. of favour and disfavour? It means that He sees there is something in us worth His while to educate, and He is educating us."
We have been privileged to host the cell group in our home. We've been truly blessed.
