When your life looks nothing like God promised, will you still choose to praise Him?
God in the Cave
While everyone else treats life’s smooth paths as the ultimate proof of faith, you might find that your deepest encounters with God happen in the messy, unpolished corners of your story. When King David fled for his life, pretending to be insane in an enemy’s land, he wasn’t writing from a royal palace; he was writing from a cave of humiliation and fear. Yet right there in the grit of his reality, he made a remarkable choice to bless the Lord at all times.
We often fall into the trap of thinking that following God means a trouble-free existence, waiting passively for our circumstances to finally line up with His promises. But what if the waiting isn’t an interruption, but the very place where you discover His nearness?
Take a moment to step past intellectual theology and discover what it means to truly taste and see that the Lord is good in the middle of your own waiting.
