When God Cannot Be Seen, Where Are You?

Job Chapter 23


Job speaks.


“I go forward, but He is not there.”

“I turn back, but I cannot see Him.”



Job is searching for God.



The silence deepens.


He is turning toward God.

He is searching.


Searching for a God

he cannot see.



When God cannot be seen,

people become uneasy.


Where is He?

Am I being heard?



They try to find Him.

They try to make sure.


Yet still,

He cannot be seen.



Then Job says:


“He knows the way that I take.”



Something changes here.


I was trying to find God.

Yet I was already known.



The one searching—

and the God

who has been seeing from the beginning.



Most people never notice this direction.


They search for God,

yet do not realize

they are already being seen.



Job is finally beginning to notice

that he is being seen.



When God cannot be seen,

where are you?


Are you trying to find Him?


Or are you standing

in the place

where you are already known?



Job was searching for God.

He could not see Him.


Yet he spoke:


“He knows the way that I take.”



The one searching is himself.

The God who already sees

is there from the beginning.


On a wooden table, raisin bread, salad, and a glass of orange juice. In the background, green trees and soft morning light.
 I search. God already sees.

God is still silent.
