"But you do see!" the psalm writer says of God in verse 14. Sometimes, it almost seems that these writers are convincing themselves when they put these words down. Writing can do that and its why people take up journaling. It makes our thoughts real. If I write something on this blog, it is likely going to be read by someone and now my opinion isn't just a musing, but a representation of me.
God, though, knows our hearts. The psalmist asks in the first verse "Why, O Lord, do you stand far off?" Yet, God is closer than we can imagine. Sometimes, God seems too close, when the guilt of our imperfect hearts weighs heavy. Still, this notion of God being with us is sometimes just too intagible to feel true, so we practice our ways of making God more real. This is how this blog works for me. Just like the psalmist, when I write about God, I get excited and my thoughts become deeper than the day to day stuff I do at work.
There is a God and God does see!!
