Behind the Scene

As little children we were fond of playing the game of hide and seek. We loved to hide in certain secret places and thereby make more difficult for the one seeking us to find us. If eventually we are found we try to hide deeper the next time and so the game continued. Even fathers sometimes play this game with their little ones. And it is a joy for the little child to catch his or her father. That game seems to draw its origin from God. This was the finding of Isaiah, “Truly You are a God who hides Yourself, O God of Israel, the Saviour” (Isaiah 45: 15). Sometimes God like every other father hides from us and we wonder where He has gone to.

One of the most beautiful truths you can know is that God is there even when it looks like He isn’t there. There is always the tendency to think certain events typify the absence of God and at such moments the cry of is “God has abandoned us”. But what a joy it is to know that God is always present! It’s just a game of love between a loving Father and His child.

Also it is important that God’s working for you behind the scene. You may not see Him now but He is working all the same. Moses realized this, “The eternal God is your refuge, and underneath are the everlasting arms” (Deuteronomy 33:27).

The more you walk with God the easier it becomes to understand His hideouts and fall into His loving arms. So go after knowing God and your life will be a living testimony of what God can do. Also remember to patiently wait for the manifestation of God's faithfulness which will take place in His own time.
