My God the greatest

I will have nothing to do with a God who cares only ocasionally. I need a God who is with us always, everywhere, in the deepest depths as well as the highest heights. It is when things go wrong, when good things do not happen, when our prayers seem to have been lost, that God is most present. We do not need the sheltering wings when things go smoothly. We are closest to God in the darkness, stumbling along blindly.

hi carloLL, u r absolutely correct humans will not remember God if we didnt get in trouble but atleast not everyone. So obviously we have to thank our alltime trouble maker The SATAN. Because of Satan only most of us were remembering God, really it is true. But Y We were not thanking Satan?

i think Satan is not the trouble maker, we chose our own decissions in life, some of us chose bad things or against the golden rule of God, but whatever it is God's still loves us, and patiently forgives us, whatever our sins are. repent.

I have been in the valleys and I have been on the mountaintops. I have felt like the Israelites lost in the wilderness going around in circles. God is always there. I hear God's voice but then there are times when I don't. I have came to realize that during those times I am being tested and God's there hoping that this time I may pass that certain test. Whether it's my faith, my temper, my obedience being tested. Teachers don't whisper the answers into the students ears. They wait on the side patiently, compassionately as you are been tested. You are tested and if you pass you receive a smile and a pat on the back and then you go on to the next test. When you fail, and Lord knows we will fail some, God patiently teaches you the lesson again. Isn't God good that he never gives up on us!! I love stories so here's one: I was on the phone with a creditor and I was trying to payoff my debt (I was delaying the payoff by 2 days) while juggling alot of other stresses that week. I am a person who gets stressed out very easy and when I do I lose my temper. God's been dealing with me on this. I did not lose my temper with the wonderful lady driving me crazy on the other end of the phone even though it came very close:) I knew I was in the valley... had been for some time, at least it felt like that. I cried out oh God where are you? Why do blessings seem to come so easily to others but not to me? The words came to me out of no where: give your dishwasher a try. My dishwasher has been broken for 2 years. It will flood the kitchen if turned on. I couldn't afford to replace it so I just washed the dishes by hand each day. I am a mother of 4 so that's alot of dishes. So I said okay. Went and turned it on, with towels in hand just knowing that I'm going to have a flood, and it worked as if it was brand new. A small blessing to some but a huge blessing to a mother of 4.

Hi carloll, I have one thing to say, if we love our god and thank even in our good time then definatly god will help and guide us in the bad time. I have seen many people who dont even care what they are doing wrong, but will always blame god for the results. If we do things in a correct manner and as told by the holy book then the end result will be good. thanks and enjoy :)

we turn to God for help when our foundations are shaking only to learn that God is shaking them.

Thank you very much, for the post. Sure our God is a sovereign God He is in control. He knows the exact the amount of water that we shall gross over without being swayed away. He cannot allow any temptation that is beyond our strength to overruled us. Nothing can happen without His awareness is all knowing God He upholds our future. He is there for us as His children. He works in ways we cannot see.
