It may not be obivious but God is still there,yes He is,and he is aware of everything that is going on ,He knows every persons thoughts,there is nothing hidden from our sovereign God .As one looks at this world it appears as if so much is out of control,if that is so how is He sovereign?.In Romans 11 v 33 we read 'How impossible it is for us to understand His decisions and His ways'!.Humanity may know a lot of things,but when it comes to God and His ways,we are very limited,His ways are past finding out,as one commentator says,'we will never figure out God fully ,or His ways. Habakkuk the prophet struggled as regards His ways,twice he asks ,'Why?' 1v 13,like Habakkuk we have all wondered why,as we look at so much evil,and pain in the world.We must bear in mind that we are all part of this fallen human race,that means that at some leval we are acting contrary to God's will.It is no use crying and blaming God,when Adam sinned he blamed his wife and then she blamed the serpent,who are we to blame God?, as regards the mess the world is in.In spite of our rebellion against our holy God,He is merciful and forgiving, and He has gone to great lengths to bring us back to Himself,for in spite of our sinfulness He loves us, an Easter hymn comes to mind, written by Cecil F. Alexander.
'There is a green hill far away,outside a city wall,
Where the dear Lord was crucifed,who died to save us all.
We may not know,we cannot tell,what pain He had to bear;
But we believe it was us for us He hung and suffered there.
He died that we may be forgiven,He died to make us good,
That we might go at last to heaven ,Saved by His precious blood.
There was no other good enough topay the price of sin;
He only could unlock the gate,of heaven and let us in.
O dearly,dearly has He loved!and we must Him too,
And trust in His redeeming blood and try His works to do.'
