Life is full of challenges, you would agree with me; and Change is said to be a constant in life. Today you may be mourning and Tomorrow you are celebrating. With the highs and lows, the ups and downs, one would ask- can there ever be stability in Life?.
In our world today, there is so much chaos, financial recession, heartbreaks, increase in lawlessness and new diseases arising everyday. Things considered as abominations in the past are being legalized by law- from divorce rates hiking up each day to gay rights, abortion, people becoming less loving & more selfish; and Most people don't even want to hear you talk about "GOD" or "JESUS". They ask, where is God in the midst of all the chaos and struggles in the world? If He is the Almighty God, why can't he just intervene and make the world all good? Why can't He take all the pain away? Even some Christians at times ask similar questions.
The Truth is, God is watching...Yes, He is very much alive and watching in Love. Would a Loving God let us go through heartaches and struggles?...Not necessarily...God's Love is such that allows His Loved one to exercise their free-will and only comes in to intervene if He is invited to do so. Most heartaches arise from our disobedience to his word, although He may let us undergo some hardship to build trust in Him. Hear His word in Isaiah 55:8,"My thoughts are nothing like your thoughts",says the Lord. And my ways are far beyond anything you could imagine; so how can we really understand?. Our understanding of God is revealed in the Person Of Jesus Christ.
I've been through hard and trying times, situations which seemed Hopeless, heartaches and all; but in all these things, i realized that all the while, God was standing by and watching, with a heart filled with Love. Was God Punishing me for my sins? well, he won't be wrong if he did-but no, that's not the point and reason. Here's the point...

For the Believer, the dealings of God with us its for building up our faith in him. Everything he allows us pass through is for a reason, which could be to build up our faith in Him, to keep us from sin, to show the world his power, to encourage us and so much more; but each process is for our good and His glory and He never leaves us alone. We live in a fallen world with trials and temptations each day, but His word says, " The temptations in your life are no different from what others experience. And God is faithful. He will not allow the temptation be more than you can stand. when you are tempted, he will show you a way out so that you can endure". 1.Corinthians 10:13.
You may feel boxed-in with several issues, crisis after crisis, disappointments, financial issues, heartbreaks, just name it-it may even be in your health. But there is way out- That's Jesus. He is the answer and solution you seek. If you are a believer-hold on and listen to Him speak; If you left the Christian faith, its time come back home, for He is waiting for you, and if you've never accepted, now is the acceptable time for you to take hold of His hand of salvation which he is reaching out to you-say this prayer: Lord Jesus, i confess that i am a sinner, i believe you died and rose again to save me from my sins, i accept you as my Lord and Personal Saviour, cleanse me with your blood and make me your Child, in Jesus name,Amen. Now that you are saved, join a Bible-believing Church and make True Christians your friends for, "As iron sharpens iron, so a friend sharpens a friend".Proverbs 27:17
And so, in essence, Where is God?, The answer: He is revealed in Jesus Christ, as it is written,"For God himself in all his fullness was pleased to live in Christ" Colossians 1:19.
GOD BLESS YOU.
