“His brightness was like the light; He had rays flashing from His hand, And there His power was hidden.” Habakkuk 3:4
What an amazing and yet completely reassuring thought - my Father hides His omnipotence for my benefit. It is surely the most fantastic fiction ever conceived for it allows me to have freedom of will. He loves me so much that He puts me in the wilderness and tells me to walk alone, but He never leaves my side. He continues to walk beside me, holding on to the hem of my garment. He hides the loving guidance of His omnipotent hand making it appear as if He were not there. He stands afar off and says to me, “Come.” He allows me to think that I am all by myself. He doesn't let me see His everlasting arms which surround me. He doesn't let me feel the care that envelopes me lest I should ever dash my foot upon a rock. He conceals the truth that I am totally, utterly and jealously guarded on all sides. He hides His supporting arm in the mist leaving margin for my personal choice.
