Where Hides God

When life seems an arduous desert trek When black blizzards sweep past us When our gullets stick like plastic with no moisture It is then we look for God- our oasis We wonder where he is hiding When darkness invades our surroundings When we have to travel alone the long lone road When life seems a dark alley with no ray of light in front It is then we look for God, our torch bearer We wonder where he is hiding When pitch darkness enshrouds us Making us shudder and grow sick at heart Go forth into silence and look for Him Then from within, comes a still voice Reassuring and clear- “Fear not, I am with you” God likes to play ‘hide and seek’ like a child Until you look for Him intently, He will be hiding If you wish to see Him face to face, Set out on a vigorous search and once you find Him Stay with Him. Sure He will give you lasting company August.26.2022 Where is God Hiding Poetry Contest Sponsor- Unseeking Seeker

A poem that uplifts someone to the stratosphere of faith and wonder! Indeed, no one has seen God ( Saint John) but He is always leading the way! A poem that deserves recognition, dearest Valsa. Be blessed!

In addition to being present everywhere, God also has a dwelling place within the hearts and minds of all people. The fact that we are unable to recognize God is not because he is trying to hide himself from us rather our human nature seems to be unable to even grasp when he is close. The case of Moise is a reference. Best wishes for a win, Valsa.

God is everywhere--God is within. God doesn't hide--we just don't have the means to see. Best to you, Valsa.

According to Andrea, your God knows how everything will end, so I reckon God is not hiding, just bored to tears! Good luck in the contest! Aloha!

Does God hide? Only if we abandon Him.

Yes, I believe you are right dear Valsa. I especially like your third verse—it is a perfect piece of poetry all on its own. -ps
