Have you ever experienced a difficulty in your life when you wondered where God had gone? "Hezekiah became sick and was at the point of death, and he prayed to the Lord, and he answered him and gave him a sign." Hezekiah was healed but instead of being humbled and giving thanks he became proud and sinned. He repented and humbled himself, but "God left him to himself, in order to test him and to know all that was in his heart." In a sense God left Job when he gave permission to Satan to abuse him to prove he was righteous. Maybe those times when we wonder where God is, it is when God has pulled back some so we can see what is really in our heart. God already knows, but he wants us to know also.
