When God Feels Hidden: Attaching to the Spirit from Ezra to Esther
I don’t know why… but I often expect the Spirit to be obvious.
It could be because we know Him from when He came with a rushing wind and tongues of fire (Acts 2). Or when He hovered over the waters in Genesis 1.
Those things? They seem pretty obvious… right?
So, when it comes to our own lives. We expect a clear word or a strong impression. We expect the door to swing WIDE open or a window sash to be thrown open, loud and clear. We expect a moment where we can point to something and say, “That? That was God.”
And sometimes? He is that obvious.
Who will tell them?
My initial reaction was that we still do not understand the intelligence nor the stubbornness of the people of that time to create and build enormous structures, where we are still asking, “How did they do that?”
