Hidden But Still There
(a couple pics of Pikes Peak in Colorado Springs)
SO SORRY FOR THE LATE POST TODAY. THIS IS A REPOST OF ONE OF MY BLOG ENTRIES FROM LAST YEAR. THE TRUTH STILL APPLIES TODAY!
Yesterday, I spent hours at the World Prayer Center. It was beautiful. Serene. Refreshing. I journaled, read the Word, wrote out verses that spoke to me, listened to an amazing pianist, then listened to worship music. I often closed my eyes. I even watched a snow storm move in over Pikes Peak and out across the city.
This is the conversation I had with God. I needed to hear from Him. I felt confused and wanted a clear path to follow. I hope this dialog will encourage you.
God: See outside?
Me: Yes.
Can you see far?
No. The snow is blocking my view.
Is the mountain still there?
Yes.
How do you know?
I’ve seen it before.
Are you sure it’s there?
Yes.
But you can’t see it.
I know.
Just like the mountain will not move when it’s hidden, neither will I move when I’m hidden.
Are you going to hide from me?
No, but when you feel like you can’t see, you can trust I am still there. The plan I have is not seen now. But you can trust you will soon see. The storm is now. But soon sun will come and you will know.
I know what I’m doing. I have it all planned out—plans to take care of you, not abandon you, plans to give you the future you hope for. Jeremiah 29:11 The Message
Father God, thank you for never leaving me. Thank you for walking me through the storms of life. Thank you for the reminder that even though You seem hidden, You are still right here. Always near. What a comfort. I can trust You no matter what, whether you feel close or far away. In Jesus name, Amen.

Have a wonderful day, friends,

It definitely still applies Iris. Thank you for a beautiful post.
God bless you sweetie.
Amen to that, Tiffany. It is so true that He seems hidden at times. But than He reaches deep down in your heart and you know He is always there…
Thank you so much for sharing your comforting words with us.
So grateful that He is always there even when we can’t see Him.
It’s a great post — worth re-posting from time to time.
