God Where Are You?

Psalm 27:13 I would have despaired unless I had believed that I would see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living.

Ever felt like God where are you? Why don't I feel your presence? Why don't I feel like your listening? Why? Why? Why? I know for the last several month's I was heading down a road that was leading to despair. A place where I could not see anything good in my life. It wasn't that there wasn't anything good, it was that I was unable to see it. I had turned away from my first love and was no longer feeling the connectedness I needed to feel to my Father God. Why? Was it that He moved or was it that I moved? God does not move, I do and that is exactly what I realized as I came to the end of myself once again and realized this is ridiculous, I am believing and living a lie instead of holding onto the truth and living out the truth of God's Word in my life. I have to return to believing that I would see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living. Again it isn't that it wasn't there, it was and always has been I just had something blocking my view, sin. Sin will take you further than you want to go, keep you longer than you want to stay and cost you more than you want to pay. So recently God kicked my butt and I finally confessed (agreed with God) the issues that were going on and I also confessed them to my wife and man it was as if the blinders came off and now I can see again. God is restoring my passion for Him and serving Him and giving me the ability to see once again His goodness. Oh may I never return to that dark road of despair.

Father thank you for your love that is everlasting and your faithfulness toward me. Thank you for removing the blinders and giving me eyes to see the goodness of you in the land of the living. Ever keep my eyes fixed on you and may I run from those things that would zap my sight.
