Where is God?
He is with us every day, and He shows up in special encounters. Sometimes, our faith is low, and we think we are alone. We are busy with our daily routines, saying our prayers, but sometimes it feels like just going through the motions, just like sending a quick hello to that special friend.
Some also see God just like their human relationships, show up one day and be gone the next!
Where is God? Is he on social media? Or in the traditional media (TV, radio, newspaper)? Somehow, God is with us, but we don’t realize it because we are not connecting with Him.
Where is God?
I postponed writing for a while to attend to some urgent assignments, then I resumed. As soon as I began writing and engaging with the Bible(scriptures), I had my special encounter with God.
Oh! I thought writing was fun… Oh, I thought I was jotting down the things God was pouring into me, like a tap that was flowing and never ran dry.
God visited me as I sat behind my laptop. I felt this outpour, as I wrote, my faith in God was strengthened. I learned that God is real and ever so near.
I learned that God shows up in special encounters like that to strengthen our faith in Him. I began to praise Him for that encounter. Such encounters are not common. They are rare encounters for those who seek God in prayer and study the Bible.
Come near to God, and he will come near to you. (James 4:8a)

Moses was busy taking care of his father-in-law’s sheep when he saw fire burning in the bush.
There, the angel of the Lord appeared to him as a flame coming from the middle of a bush. Moses saw that the bush was on fire, but it was not burning up. (Exodus 3:2)
It seemed strange that the bush was on fire, but it was not burning up, so he went closer:
“This is strange,” he thought. “Why isn’t the bush burning up? I will go closer and see.” (Exodus 3:3)
As he got closer to the bush, God called out to him:
When the Lord saw that Moses was coming closer, he called to him from the middle of the bush and said, “Moses! Moses!” He answered, “Yes, here I am.”
Moses saw God when he went closer to the bush. My focus is to get close to God, and He will get close to you!
Just get close, get closer, do not stay far, and you will find Him. Moses went close to the fire, to see and understand, and God came close.
Where is God in the midst of all the trials, challenges, and disappointments?
He is right by your side, even though you cannot see Him. Let us go closer.
Prayer: Dear Lord, please give me that encounter, as I get close to you, please get close to me, so my faith in you will be stronger than it has ever been. In Jesus name, Amen.
N.B: This week, from July 2 to July 5, 2026, a group of ladies, known as Royal Ladies, are climbing to God’s mountain, to a place in Ghana, known as the City of Shiloh. You can find the place on Google Maps or connect online. You will find God as you draw closer to Him, and He draws closer to you.
