God with us!

Is God absent in the world? God is not absent! God is never far from us. In the event of challenges and the realities of the world (e.g problem of the existence of evil) people doubt his existence or question his love and power. However, the problem is not with God, The problem is with us (humans).
first, some people fail to acknowledge God even though there is a consciousness of him in our hearts. God has been searching for us, but in our limited knowledge, we have been the one's far from him. Some people do all it takes to avoid or hide from God. They feel dirty and bad to stand before him. Some are just 'too' busy for the work of God. Some people are deep asleep to hear God speak to them, quite a many are busy in pursuit of pleasure and ephemeral happiness!
Majority are so angry with God for all the misfortune in the world. They blame God for allowing the righteous suffer whilst the wicked prosper, they blame God for the earthquake, famine, death, political unrest, and even the threat of global warming in the world.
I once heard  the story of a Man whose mother was sick and in the blink of dying, he went to the church and beg God to safe the mum, he even promised to serve God if the mother is saved, but unfortunately the mother passed on. This man vowed never to go to church again, and spite those who pray to God. The bitterness of the heart has eaten deep in his soul.
who is God? God is a spirit, the father of spirits! the creator of heaven and earth, God is glorious in holiness, fearful in praises. he is the highest! that which nothing greater can be thought of. God is a mystery, he is confounded in mystery. God is truth. He is a God who in  his power became man in Christ Jesus, through which he felt our pain, suffered our needs and fought our temptation. Jesus experienced in  his lifetime on earth what man is experiencing!
Where is God? God is with us. Jesus promised mankind and believers the baptism of the Holy spirit, to comfort us, guide us and lead us in all our doings here on earth. The gift of the holy spirit is the most treasured gift of God to us here on earth. It is the powerful active force of God in our life. When you receive the holy spirit you are open to the light of God, it will help you understand the mystery behind the word. The word is in Christ Jesus. Selah!
