Wat as God so 'n gebed sou beantwoord het? Sodanige gebed was die teenoorgestelde van God se wil. Die Woord waarsku, "Moet nie dat jou lippe haastig wees om 'n saak voor die Here te uiter nie."

I’ve worshiped in humble churches in Central Asia where songs have the clangorous sound of silverware hitting the floor—yet if God is present, my soul always responds, “Holy, holy, holy, Lord—surely you’re in this place.”

Ek is nie net een of ander ou kêrel wat verlang na outydse aanbidding nie. Ek hoor pragtige, diep liedere van jong skrywers wat my op my knieë laat neerval. Ek is in staat om in enige omgewing te aanbid, met enige musiekstyl, weens een rede: Ek weet ek is in God se heilige teenwoordigheid. Ek het in eenvoudige kerkies in Sentraal Asië aanbid waar liedere klink na die galmende klank van silwerware wat op die vloer val – as God egter teenwoordig is, reageer my siel altyd, “Heilig, heilig, heilig, Here – U is waarlik in hierdie plek.”

Churches may have all the makings of a perfectly dynamic body. We may make sure every sermon is tightly articulated, every song perfectly tuned, every espresso machine filling people’s cups—but it’s all worthless if God’s presence is nowhere to be found.

Kerke kan al die kwaliteite hê van ‘n volmaakte dinamiese liggaam. Ons kan seker maak dat elke preek goed geartikuleer is, dat elke lied volmaak harmonieer, dat al die espresso masjiene mense se bekers vol maak – maar dit is alles nutteloos as God se teenwoordigheid nêrens te vinde is nie. Dit is waarom Petrus vir die vroeë kerk in wese gesê het, “Ons moet al hierdie administratiewe werk vir die diakens laat. As ons ware bedienaars van God moet wees, moet ons elke oomblik wat ons kan, deurbring om sy aangesig te soek.”

But where was Gideon? He was hiding — still unsure of God's promises, still wondering if God was with him! Gideon said: "If the Lord be with us, why then is all this befallen us? and where be all His miracles which our fathers told us of...?" (verse 13).

En so gaan dit met baie van ons! Jesus het ons belowe, “Ek is met julle al die dae tot aan die voleinding van die wêreld” (Matthéüs 28:20). En tog het ons nie geleer om te staan op Sy Woord en te veg nie! In plaas daarvan, kyk ons na al ons swakhede en dink, “As God waarlik met my is, waar is al Sy wonderwerke dan? Waar is die bewyse dat ek sterk is? Ek word steeds geteister deur begeertes. My huislike toestand is steeds dieselfde. God, as U met my is, waarom het dinge nie verander nie?”

But this brother told me, "If God is trying to tell me something in all this, I'm not getting the message. I just don't see the purpose yet. It's okay for people to encourage someone like me who is hurting — but until you go through it yourself, you just can't know the pain! I love the Lord, but it looks so hopeless. This trial just keeps dragging on — and I keep hitting dead ends everywhere I turn!"

L'allegrezza spirituale non è né ignoranza né irriverenza, ma un onore a Dio perché siamo soddisfatti in Lui, sebbene ogni altra cosa viene meno.La devota soddisfazione gli dimostra che il Suo conforto è tutto quello di cui abbiamo bisogno, dal momento che Egli stesso è irraggiungibile dai problemi. Nello stendere fede al di sopra delle nostre circostanze, vivendo ogni momento in una nascosta ed alta fenditura dell'amore di Dio, impariamo a sorridere quando le forze naturali cercano di farci piangere:"In mezzo al disastro e alla fame riderai, non paventerai le belve della terra" (Giobbe 5:22).
