Although it may seem as if God does not watch over His creation, God shows in the scripture He does. In Ps 33:14, God from His dwelling place watches all who live on earth. As we now know God does watch over us, how can we see Him?
God is spirit and it is not possible to see Him as in scriptures it also says if we do see Him, we cannot live. Then is there ever a way we can see Him. Yes. In Jn 1:1 it states that in the beginning was the word and the word was with God and the word was God. God is not physically the pages of the Bible, but His heart is contained within the Bible. Therefore, if we read the words of the Bible and we understand, one will see that there is much pain within God's heart.
As a glimpse of what this is like, imagine the closest of people to you whom you trust and love. Now imagine that you have all promised in your heart to never leave one another nor to turn your backs on one another. But, one day they all decided to leave you and follow another person who spread lies about you saying that you are a person who committed wrong deeds. Would you feel betrayed? Of course. Why? This is because if they truly knew you, they would have known who you are and not believe in what the other says about you.
In the same way, when God gave His scriptures to His people, they were able to know a lot about who God was. However, when God sent His son who spoke about the scriptures and the reality of the the scriptures, the people who claimed they knew God did not believe in the words God gave to His son Jesus. Many people thought killing Jesus was giving glory to God, but little did they know that they were killing the one who had His very words.
This is the same as if you were to send someone on your behalf with a letter that has the words you speak. One who knows who you are and have read your letters and also understood the meanings behind every word, will recognize your letters immediately. Even if you sent someone on your behalf with your letter, a person will be able to recognize that you sent your messenger simply by the words on the letter you send with him.
Therefore we have to always ask ourselves. When we read the scriptures, do we understand the word to the point where we are able to know God's heart? If this post was something that was never heard of, we have to ask ourselves if we are able to see the scriptures in a way where God's heart is seen. With much hope, may the world be able to share in the pain of God and have the heart to give God no more pain. However, now we know this can only happen if we are able to understand His word and the meaning of the words He has given us.
