Everyone has to remember the ‘Where’s Waldo?’ books, right? He’s the little guy with the glasses, stripey shirt, and the ‘interesting’ hat. He was created by an artist called Martin Handford. Handford drew crowd scenes, which supposedly had Waldo somewhere on every page. Sometimes it was pretty hard to find Waldo, if you weren’t used to looking for him or didn’t know what he looked like.
Initially… it’s pretty easy to find him, but as you go on through the books, it gets harder and harder. Usually the hard ones have the real Waldo amongst a whole bunch of look-a-like Waldos – who all have small differences from the real Waldo.
Waldo is always there. Just sometimes, he is elusive.
It’s pretty much the same idea with God. He’s always there – everywhere (Present), but sometimes he seems elusive.
Which leads back to ‘Rainbow days’. Which I’ve blogged about before, HERE. Rainbow days are the days where we can see God move - clearly. Sometimes it’s good to remind yourself of the days God has already ‘moved’ – perhaps when you find God elusive.
Conclusion: God, just like Waldo, is always there. Even if we struggle to ’spot’ him.
So true, & such an important thing to remember, especially during the times when God may ‘appear’ to be quiet/distant. He’s always there, holding us, carrying us, walking beside us, providing just what we need at just the right time, even when it doesn’t feel that way to us at these very moments.
