GOD’S GREATEST MIRACLE. 2 Chronicles 33:10-13.

Posted bySteven WalesPosted inGod Hides Himself/ InvisibilityTags:, , ,

What is the greatest miracle? Creation? Parting the Red Sea? The virgin birth? The resurrection? Those are huge. But the greatest miracle—because it happens EVERY DAY—is that God hides Himself. Think about it:

God is the biggest, most powerful force. He is bigger than everything: bigger, faster, stronger, louder. Yet we never see Him. He is busy, active, and working, yet we are oblivious. Those of us who seek Him catch only shadows, a wind in the trees. He hides Himself, all-day, every-day.

But how do you hide Someone who is OMNIPRESENT? How big would an invisibility cloak have to be to cover GOD?

And it’s not because He is spiritual and we are physical. A Person powerful enough to speak a universe into existence is powerful enough to knock it over with a whisper.

If you are not seeing God jostle your world every day, don’t you think that’s by design? God’s plan every day is to hide Himself.

But He gives us signs. He gives us His word and His Spirit. He gives enough to keep us walking by faith—without sight.

King Manasseh could not see God and went further astray than all kings before him. He was a demon-worshipping idolator.

“So God brought against them the Assyrian army. They captured Manasseh with hooks, bound him with bronze shackles, and took him to Babylon. When he was in distress, he sought the favor of Yahweh his God and EARNESTLY HUMBLED HIMSELF before the God of his ancestors. He prayed to Him, and He granted his request… so Manasseh came to know that Yahweh is God” 2 Chronicles 33:10-13.

Manasseh lived like there was no God—because he could not SEE Him. But when he needed God, God rescued him and he changed. Sadly, his son—having grown up under his father’s wicked rule—did not change, and became such an evil king that God allowed him only two years on the throne before he was assassinated.

God, help us walk by faith and live as though we see You—even when we do not. Make us faithful and obedient now, don’t let us wait until our life falls apart like Manasseh’s.

Dad's Daily Devotional began as text messages to my family. I wanted my teenagers to know their father was reading the Bible. But they were at school by then. Initially, I sent them a favorite verse or an insight based on what I read each day. That grew into drafting a devotional readng which I would send them via text. I work as an attorney and an adjunct professor, and recently wrote a book called HOW TO MAKE A'S.
