Daily Bible Reading:
Isaiah 54:10
Though the mountains be shaken and the hills be removed, yet my unfailing love for you will not be shaken nor my covenant of peace be removed, says the Lord, who has compassion on you.
The sun is always in its place, always shining, but there are times the clouds come rolling in and obscure our view, preventing us from feeling its warmth and enjoying the light. Nevertheless, it is there, shining, doing what it always does. There are times, it seems, God is ignoring us. The continual prayers that appear to be forgotten and unanswered can leave us discouraged, and feeling quite alone. Just as the sun is, God is always there; it is only our view that has become cloudy. It is our faith in the God we have come to know so well, and to trust so completely, which sustains us. He is there. He will never leave, or turn His back on us. He has heard our prayers. Those clouds will pass, and we will once again enjoy the warm embrace of the Son.
Prayer
You are faithful Lord. We have learned to trust in Your character, we know that You are always there and will never abandon us. When our view becomes cloudy and we find it difficult to hear Your voice, and see Your face, strengthen us, and increase our faith. We know You hear our prayers and we trust, that once again we will feel Your loving embrace. Amen.
