 But, you know, there's times that people think that God stands afar off. He's not, but there's times that we feel that way. Our feelings are not the truth, but even some of the greatest men in Scripture dealt with the same feelings and emotions. And it's good for us to understand that. In verse 1, he asks the question, Why standest thou afar off, O Lord? Why hidest thyself in times of trouble? And God hasn't. A lot of times God's waiting on us to repent.
