Day 14

When God seems distant 
Notes:
God is real no matter how you feel .. Deepest level of worship is thanking God in spite of pain, thanking during a trial or suffering, loving when distant
Friendships often tested by separation and silence ... God has not promised that you will always feel his presence ...I will never leave you ... A test of faith ..continue to love, trust, obey and worship
We often seek an experience of God rTher than seeking him ..seek a feeling ..need to wean off these dependencies ...more concerned about whether you trust rather than feel his presence
Tell God how you feel ... David was honest with God
Focus on God and his unchanging nature V Raymond Edman ... Never doubt in the dark what God told you in the light
Trust God to keep his promises ... Rely on these not on emotions ... But still I trust in him ..Job
Remember what God has already done for you Christ suffered and died for us, that alone is enough

Thoughts
Job and David are so inspirational here, they trusted despite circumstances, holding on to God's promises and trusting him
