Gold Dust or Sand?
If God goes where He is wanted, then He responds in like to both individuals as well as nations. Saying He goes where He is “wanted” is probably more accurate and more “prerequisite” than saying God goes where He is needed. The “need” for Him is in every circumstance of every person in any nation whether or not God is acknowledged as God. We all have an open door to God, but do we all have an open door for Him? No we don’t. When we limit God’s access into the everyday affairs of our lives, we are insuring for ourselves an incomplete and unsatisfying spiritual life – trading the “gold dust” of His presence for the desert sand of our isolation from Him, even our partial independence accomplishes this distance. He beckons us to draw near to Him so that He can draw nearer to us. (James 4:8) We need not fear doing so under any circumstances. God is for us ( Romans 8:31) – no matter what state we may find ourselves.
