A lot of times it will never make sense to the human mind why you should seek God knowing it will bring the hosts of hell after you. Why not hide away in your little corner and hope the devil forgets about you?
Afterall, where was God the night you had that accident because of a drunk driver? or where was he the night you were robbed and hit with a gun? Where was He when you suffered and toiled only to have taken away in the blink of an eye? Why did you take a vow of purity only to have your innocence and virginity taken away by rapists?
Know this, God is always in the picture. He was there speaking to the driver not to drink before entering his vehicle, he was there speaking to the robbers to not go on that operation, He was there telling them to not hurt you and just take what they wanted, He was there giving them a way of escape, but they didn't listen and when they raped you He cried. He felt more pain because the little girl He had great plans for had been humiliated, so He made a commitment that He was going to make sure you had Grace(that supernatural power that gives you the ability to do what u can't do on your own), strength for the days you would be weak, restoration for the periods that would be lost and above all, healing for my mind,body and soul.
So,anytime you are going through a tough time, your account is empty, you have been fired from your job, your career or business is at a standstill and you wonder where God is, remember He is right there working it all out.
It may take a longer time than you envisioned, but God is the author of time, He is never late, He is always right on time. If this dry season is still on, it is because He wants it to be so. He saw your full life before you lived a single day. He knew you would be exactly where you are, He knew you would need him,He knew you would hurt and be disappointed and He allowed it so to build your endurance and character that will lead to Hope in Him and that Hope NEVER disappoints.
Don't leave the place of prayer, don't stop believing, dont stop thanking in faith, keep at it and ONE DAY He will show up.
Accepting Jesus as your Lord and Saviour is just not a mouth confession, its in how you live your life, the things you do,say and believe. It's in how you abandon the things of the world to chase the things of the Kingdom, it's in no longer sugarcoating the truth to suit you, you can't serve God on your terms, it's either God's way or NO way.
Make a commitment today to accept His way, no alternatives and no second options.
