And so instead of coming to God, who can deal with our sin, we run, foolishly thinking that we can hide from His omnipresent gaze. A woman named Cindy Grey (Tanya Christiansen) gives Sonny a ride and shares her own story of tests and trials, and how her faith was renewed. We can have tunnel vision regarding our situation and life and we do not see the entire picture of what the Lord is wanting to do in our situation. But the real problem was, and still is, it is a fearful thing to be exposed as a guilty sinner in the presence of God.

He took the mantle of Elijah that fell from him and struck the waters and said, “Where is the Lord, the God of Elijah? Of course it’s possible, through repeated sin, to sear your conscience to the point where it no longer functions. It is in the story of Lazarus being raised from the dead that we learn God has a plan and purpose that is far beyond what we know, see, or desire in the present. God uses the wilderness to prepare and equip you for your destiny—that is, if you navigate it correctly.

God’s next question is very direct, “Have you eaten from the tree of which I commanded you not to eat? Jesus doesn’t promise life will be easy or that you will not experience sorrow, pain, or physical death. God’s unconditional, selfless, no-strings-attached love for you motivated Jesus to lay down his life for you! For those who will rely on Jesus during their lives, He says it is like building your life on a Rock. My boiling emotions tell me that God doesn’t care … that He is nowhere to be found … that He is far, far away.

Let them hide behind those silly fig leaves, cowering in fear every time they hear a noise in the bushes. The story of Lazarus’ sickness and death is filled with sorrow, yet out of his sisters’ sorrow and pain comes unwavering faith in Christ, and it is God who receives all the glory. Every person needs to know the same two things: He is lost without Jesus Christ; and, Christ came to seek and to save those who are lost. The person praying this prayer doesn’t for one moment loose faith in the person of God even though he’s not experiencing the presence of God. He has delivered us from the power of darkness and conveyed us into the kingdom of the Son of His love, 14 in whom we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins.
