Is God there?

How many times have you heard someone say "Where is God?" or "If there was a God....." It's interesting to hear the millions of statements made by believers as well as non-believers. I read in Isaiah 59:1-2 and this is what it says: Behold, the LORD's hand is not shortened, that it cannot save; neither his ear heavy, that it cannot hear: But your inquities have seperated between you and God, and your sins have hid his face from you, that he will not hear.

I don't know about you but that is a pretty deep scripture. There is nothing that God can't do for us but because of sin, we seperate ourselves from him. Now there are many times that we go through things and it's not always because of sin in our lives. It can be God working something into and out of us, it can be our own flesh and it can be the enemy. But let's be real, some of us are living in a way that we know is not pleasing to God and yet we still are wondering why God is not doing for us like He promised. Think about this thing. God tells us to not fornicate. Sex is for married folk, right? And yet we do it anyways. So God allows us to get pregnant, or contract an STD, or something else. Now yes, we are his kids doing these things and we know it ain't right but we wonder things like "Why did God let me get pregnant?" or "Why do I have this STD?" And then we wonder, "Is God listening to me?" Come on people, we put ourselves in so many tight and crazy situations and then blame God for not stopping us. Is it me or doesn't that sound "crazy"?????

If we want God to keep us, we need to walk in his ways. Am I saying you need to be perfect and not sin? NO! As long as your in this body, you will fall or course BUT you can present yourselves holy and as living sacrifices (Romans 12:1) We can live a life of holiness through the keeping power of the Holy Spirit. You just need to make your mind up. So now the choice is yours. What do you choose?
