Welcome to Every Thought Captive. I’m Phil Steiger, pastor at Quail Lake Community Church.
Have you been through a season in life when it feels like God is just absent? During these times our prayers seem empty and God seems hidden. So what should I do when that happens? Two disciples took a walk from Jerusalem to Emmaus on the day Christ rose from the dead. Even though Jesus was walking with them, they did not recognize him because their own eyes were blinded.
The irony in this story is that even though Jesus was right there with them, the disciples believed he was dead and gone. You see, it was the disciple’s fault that Jesus seemed dead to them. Often, when we feel like God is hidden from us, it is because we have neglected our relationship with him, or have become too much a child of this world to be a child of God. But don’t let those times keep you from pursuing God—you will probably find that Jesus was there all the time.
