Do you ever have the feeling that God is doing lots of things for other people but not for you? Do you hear stories and testimonies of others and wonder whether God cares about you like he cares about others? When you read stories about the amazing things that God has done for his people, both in the Bible and throughout history, do you feel personally disconnected from this? Does it seem like an unattainable ideal? Do you find it hard to expect such things to happen for you? Many people feel this way and there are even many psalms in which the psalmists express these kinds of feelings. But consider this. Everything that God does is an expression of who he is. And God does not change. He doesn’t have changing moods. If he was loving and gracious at some point and for someone then that is an expression of who he is. When God looks at you, he doesn’t change his mood and his approach. He will treat you in the same gracious way that he has treated every other undeserving person (which includes everyone he ever blessed). If you seek God you will find him, because he is committed to connecting with those who seek him. He has proven this in the past. God doesn’t have favourites. If God ever did something good for anyone, it is because he is good, and that is good news for everyone. So, you can celebrate what God has done, however far removed from you, and you can expect the same treatment as anyone who was ever blessed by God.
What do you most need from God now? Pray for that.
Read Psalm 145
