OH ME, WHERE IS MY GOD?

That is a cry of desperation; a cry for urgency; a cry of pain; a cry of deep thoughts; a cry for an urgent help; and a cry for mercy. It is not a cry of admittance of failure but the acknowledgement of difficulties and seeming failure ahead. It is a cry that expresses the feeling of disappointment, fear, discouragement, and uncertainty. It is a cry signifying open hands and readiness to receive help and assistance from God. That cry shows you are experiencing something you do not like, you do not deserve and you did not expect but it happens suddenly against your best imagination. I do not know what people are seeing or looking at in your life that is making you ask where is my God. I do not know what the devil is busy doing or had done in your life that is making you ask that question. I do not know your current or past experiences in life. All I know is that the people and situation making you ask that is question are expecting the Almighty God to do something new in, through and with you. My prayer is that they will see what the Almighty God will do in you and it will definitely be far better than their best expectations and your dreams. Has anyone ever asked you ‘where is your God before’? If yes, then you must have in that occasion or other occasions cried out loud or silently in your heart ‘oh me, where is my God’. Have you said those words before? If yes, then you may have been challenged beyond your best ability and your best knowledge, your challenges are beyond money, beyond human help and beyond your efforts and the help you need is extraordinarily divine and urgent.   

When live takes a turn in our lives, people will ask where is our God; when we are challenged beyond our very best or our lowest worst, people will ask ‘where is your God’. When progress is stunted and we cannot meet up with basic needs, people will ask ‘where is our God’ and you will cry ‘oh me, where is my God’. When failures and weakness become our closest companion, we will cry ‘where is our God’. When the sun refuses to shine in our lives as expected despite the breaking of the new day and all the available opportunities, we will ‘cry where is my God’ When our hearts are overwhelmed with thoughts and sorrows that are higher than the best of our imaginations and efforts in life, we cry, ‘oh me where is my God’. When time is far against us and age is running faster than the progress we are making, we cry, ‘oh me, where is my God’. When our spirit is dampened and are flesh are burden with sorrows, we cry oh me where is my God’. King David had the same experience and cried the same thing, and God answered. He will also answer ours as we look on Him with all our heart and depend on Him with all our strength.  

“As the deer pants for the water brooks, so my soul pants for You, O God. My soul thirsts for God, for the living God. When will I come and see the face of God? My tears have been my food day and night while they say to me all day long, where is your God? These things I remember as I pour out my soul; how I used to go along before the great crowd of people and lead them in procession to the house of God, with the voice of joy and thanksgiving, a great crowd keeping a festival. Why are you in despair, O my soul? And why have you become restless and disturbed within me? Hope in God and wait expectantly for Him, for I shall again praise Him for the help of His presence. O my God, my soul is in despair within me; therefore, I will remember You from the land of the Jordan and the peaks of Hermon, from Mount Mizar. Deep calls to deep at the sound of Your waterfalls; all Your breakers and Your waves have rolled over me. Yet the Lord will command His lovingkindness in the daytime, and in the night, His song will be with me, a prayer to the God of my life. I will say to God my rock, why have You forgotten me? Why do I go mourning because of the oppression of the enemy? As a crushing of my bones, adversaries taunt me, while they say to me, where is your God? Why are you in despair, O my soul? Why have you become restless and disquieted within me? Hope in God and wait expectantly for Him, for I shall yet praise Him, the help of my countenance and my God. Psalm 42:1-11.
