Have you stopped believing in God because He seems to be as far and distant as the closest star in the galaxy? The news is filled with stories that dishearten our faith because we learn about the assortment of atrocities occurring around the world to the people God loves all without recompense to the victims of such tragedies. Do not lose hope. Times like these are exactly when God goes out searching to make His name known.
At that time I will search Jerusalem with lamps, and I will punish the men who are complacent, those who say in their hearts, ‘The Lord will not do good, nor will he do ill.’ (Zephaniah 1:12)
If you find yourself not being able to believe in God because your life in a dark, and messed up society feels devoid of God’s love, grace, and mercy, then know this: God is out there looking for you in that dark and messed up society. His light, who is the light of this world, Jesus, is on full blast piercing through the dark. But if you don’t feel like the light is getting to you fast enough, then yell and call on God because God’s light can also hear you. God is out there moving and shaking the dark. Call on Him and find his light and keep on believing.
