“You have seen this, O LORD.
\nDo not keep silent. O Lord, do not be far from me.” Psa 35:22<\/p>\n
Have you ever been falsely accused, mistreated, or just felt like life was unfair? David, the author of Psa 35, knew exactly how that felt. He was being attacked, and instead of seeking revenge, he turned to God and said, \u201cLord, you have seen this!\u201d There are moments in life when we feel overwhelmed by trials, injustice or spiritual attacks. Then it seems as if God is silent or has abandoned us.<\/p>\n
God sees everything\u2014the good, the bad, and the chocolate-covered lies! God Sees Everything (Even When We Think He Doesn\u2019t). We sometimes act like God is unaware of what\u2019s happening. But He sees our struggles (Psa 34:17), Our faithfulness (Gal 6:9) and When people mistreat us (Heb 4:13). Sometimes, God\u2019s silence is just a test before your breakthrough!When God Seems Silent, He\u2019s Still Working: God was silent for Job, but He restored him double (Job 42:10), Jesus was silent before His accusers, but He won the victory (Isa 53:7).God may seem silent, but He is working behind the scenes (Rom 8:28).<\/p>\n
If you feel like life is unfair, remember: God sees,God hears, God will act. He sees your faithfulness \u2013 Keep going! He hears your prayers \u2013 Keep praying! He will act in His time \u2013 Keep trusting! simply say: \u201cLord, YOU have seen this. I trust You!\u201d And remember\u2014God sees the WHOLE picture, even when we only see the frame.<\/p>\n
