Job 32-34, He’s Near

 “For his eyes watch over a man’s ways, and he observes all his steps.  There is no darkness, no deep darkness, where evildoers can hide.  But when God is silent, who can declare him guilty? When he hides his face, who can see him? Yet he watches over both individuals and nations,”

‭‭Job‬ ‭34‬:‭21‬-‭22‬, ‭29‬ ‭CSB‬‬

Read Context

God does watch over all of us, and there is nowhere to hide.  Even when we feel like God is far from us or that He isn’t paying attention, He is still there.  And as believers, His Spirit is in us…that really is comforting, yet frustrating!  If He is always with my, why does He feel far away at times?

I have heard a pastor say, His felt absence is evidence of previous closeness, and amplifies His coming nearness…
