"Why do you hide your face and consider me your enemy?" (Job 13:24)
Job was a righteous man but, for reasons known alone to God, God allowed him to be tested. For a time, God let Satan test Job’s faith by bringing on him terrible afflictions.
Sometimes God leaves us alone to struggle with inexplicable suffering. This is part of the faith journey of all who follow the One who cried out on the cross, “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?”
Puritan preacher William Gurnall summed up our dilemma of faith when he said –
"The Christian must trust in a withdrawing God."
It’s easy to believe in God when He is right there with us, but what about when He chooses to step back and let us work things out for ourselves?
