Have you ever felt invisible? Overlooked? Forgotten?
These aren't the best feelings in the world, but I think it's interesting that God has experienced that feeling, too. In today's passage, there's a section where God addressed His people and reflected on how some treated Him:
I'm here, ready to be found
by those who haven't bothered to look.
I kept saying 'I'm here, I'm right here'
to a nation that ignored me.
I reached out day after day
to a people who turned their backs on me,
People who make wrong turns,
who insist on doing things their own way...
Yikes! Isn't that interesting? The Creator of the Universe, the all-powerful, all-knowing God...somehow goes unnoticed?
People often say things like, "God just feels really distant right now" or "I haven't felt His presence lately." The truth? God is always there for us--we just might not see Him in front of our noses...or we've put up barriers between ourselves and Him.
God's still here. He's still reaching out for you and for me. He's ready to be found.
Tomorrow: Jeremiah 1-3
