Digging Deeper

Do you love that we get to grow deeper in our faith?  That we serve a living God.  That God loves us and pursues us.  Let’s take today and dig deeper into God’s word.  

Let’s read Isaiah 54:8, Isa. 57:17, Isa 64:7, and Jer. 33:5

When is God hiding His face? Why does God hide his face from us?

Read Psalm 66:18; Isaiah 59:2, Amos 8:11-12, Hab. 1:13

God hides his face because he is angry for sin.  When God withdraws his face if means that he is withdrawing the experience we have in his presence, His rejection of sin, and his refusal to see, hear, or speak.  This is when we have a broken relationship with God.  Even though he is disciplining us it comes from his love for us.  To draw us back to him.  

Read 1 Corinthians 1
