“Where Is God In Your Life?”

By Ps Dev Menon

If someone asked you that question right now, what would you say?

For many of us, the honest answer might be: I’m not sure. I haven’t really stopped to think about it. We’ve been busy with work, family… with the ten thousand small demands that fill our days. Life has been happening to us, and we’ve been moving through it at pace, heads down, just trying to keep up.

And so the months pass. I’m sure it’s been a full, eventful 4 months, and yet somehow, we haven’t quite been present to what’s been happening in our own lives and hearts.

There’s a particular kind of tiredness that comes not from doing too much, but from never stopping to process what we’ve been through. The worry we kept pushing aside because there was always something more urgent. The grief that never got its moment. The unexpected kindness that moved us before we moved on. The stretch of weeks that felt spiritually dry – and the question we never quite got around to asking: why?

Here’s something worth thinking through: the places in our lives that carry the strongest emotions are rarely random. The relationship that drains us. The situation at work that produces disproportionate anxiety. The moment of joy that felt too fragile to hold. These charged places – the ones we tend to rush past or bury under busyness – are often precisely where we must ask the question: “Where is God in all this?”.

But noticing requires something most of us are chronically short of: time and space.

Just the quiet to sit with our own hearts – in light of all we’ve experienced and of course with the knowledge of all we’ve learned about God through His Word. Time to be in God’s presence and to ask honestly: Where have You been in this, Lord? Where am I?

That is what the upcoming Church Camp is for. Unhurried time (and hopefully space) to pause, so that we can reconnect with God. 

We are so glad for the 500+ coming (registrations are closed, sorry!). But we need a lot of prayer that God will indeed help us use the time to meet with Him. Please be praying!
