Day 20: What if I don't experience God?













Posted by: Caroline Enright (rising freshman at BHS)
Today’s devotional is asking where is God in the world, and am I still a disciple if I’ve never experienced God.

I honestly have this problem a lot in my life.  I hear all of these amazing stories about people feeling God and I’m like ok but what about me?  I also thought how can I follow Jesus if I have never really felt him.  Now I have seen God through people before like on choir tour, but I have never felt him hold my hand or anything. So what now?  How can I be a disciple of Christ if I have never felt him?

So two weeks ago I asked this at Wednesday night bible study and said that those miracles that the disciple saw through Jesus made it easy for them to be a disciple because they could feel God through those miracles that they saw every day.  But you never hear about someone being raised from the dead on the news every day.  Or do we?  What Jay and the girls at the bible study helped me realize was that miracles happen every day, and most of us look past them. We say oh that is just the doctors who saved that man’s life or it was just a surgery that made the blind person see.  The truth is that if we look at the simple miracles every day, everywhere you are sure to feel God in your life.
