Where is God?

Our Pastor and my sign teacher, Pam's

mother died Thursday.  His son, Adam,

preached yesterday.  I've never heard

him and was fascinated at his insight.

He talked about how we are to not

forsake gathering together.  His observation

was that when people have troubles they often

turn away from God, angry that God hasn't

done what they want  Him to do.   

We pray for wisdom
Your voice to hear
We cry in anger when we cannot feel You near
We doubt your goodness, we doubt your love
As if every promise from Your Word is not enough

Words from the song "Blessings".  I had that 

sung at John's memorial service.  

He likened 

our tendency to do that to a car.  You fill it up

with gas, then it runs out.  So you get angry

and say, "I filled that car with gas and it ran

out so I'm never going to the gas station

again!"  We would look at that person like

they were crazy.  But when troubles come

that's when we need God the MOST!  So

why would you run from Him?  My observation

is that sometimes that's the ONLY time people

come to God.  He wants us there all the time.

Good times, bad times and in between.  Isn't

that what a friend is supposed to be?  With

you no matter what?

The sentiment inside says "deepest sympathy".
