Proverbs 11:1---A false balance is abomination to the LORD: but a just weight is his delight.
The food of the heart
is love. We thrive upon love. However, where is God's love when disaster
strikes, or when we lose a loved one? Where is God's love when we are staring
at death's door? Where is God's love when we and those we care about become
innocent victims? Where is God and His love when we are alone in our private
pain? Where is God and His love when we are besieged on every side by every
spiritual enemy? We have all been in places in our life when these questions
occur. The reality for most of us is we ask these questions because there are
times when His love seems absent. There are times when God is silent when we
talk with Him. There are times when it seems God has forgotten us. Many of us
have wrestled with these questions for years. The Bible is full of answers for
us and most of us know what the answers are. We know in our mind God is with us
all the time. However, there are times when we need another way of looking at
the way God works. Think of God's presence in your life like training wheels on
a bicycle. Sometimes you lean to one side while you are learning to ride the
bike and the training wheels keep you from falling over. At other times, when
you have your balance the training wheels never touch the ground. In either
case, if you are so busy just trying to keep your balance, you are never aware
of the training wheels. Many times in our life, we are too busy trying to keep
our balance to know or notice how Christ is still there supporting us.
