Where is the power, is it in the thunder? Or is it in the lightening? The true power is unseen and unheard for it is the interaction f tiny particles - electrons and neutrons? What of God? 15 Truly, you are a God who hides himself, O God of Israel, the Savior. 16 All of them are put to shame and confounded; the makers of idols go in confusion together. Isaiah 45:15-16 English Standard Version (ESV) There are those who refuse to believe for they say if God existed there would be scientific provable evidence. One as powerful as the God proclaimed by the Hebrews and those foolish Christians would make Himself known with indisputable fact. He would have no need to hide for He would be no match for the mere mortals He created. Why does God hide? For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith. Rom. 1:17 (KJV) Which does God desire, to be feared and hated or loved and adored? God does not reveal Himself in these days as He did in times past because in those times past (before the flood, during Sodom and Gomorrah, the exodus) He was feared and hated for He dared to show His power. In these present days He has come to us as a baby to grow up among men and show men as well as teach them that He loves and desires love. He says we should trust in His love and not in His power. His kingdom is of the heart (soul) not of His arm (might). Is He the God who hides? Is He weak? No, He reveals His power in His love for you. You are more precious to Him than conquered worlds or slaves bent by the lash. It is for this reason that He died for your sins. Every time that you see the flash of lightening or the roll of thunder, think of the unseen power of God who loves you.
