God is unseen




God is UNSEEN







 How do we know God is there when we can’t see him?  

Today we will answer that question and look at bible stories about the topic.  

Now Elisha would tell the Israelite king where the Arameans [their enemies] were encamping because God told Elish whatever the king of Aram said even in his bedroom when the Arameans king found out he sent an army to kill Elisah in the city of Dothan when the servant saw the large army, he called Elisha to see the army,


Elisha said to the servant – “Don’t be afraid, those who are with us are more than those who are with them.” then the servant said ‘what more with us than them’, then Elisha asked God to open the servant's eye’s then the servants’ eyes where opened.

 

The servant saw hundreds of the Lord’s fiery chariots defending them and Elisha asked God to strike the Arameans with blindness. Elisah informed the army they were not in the right place and Elisha led them to the king of Israel, once there Elisha prayed to God to open their eyes the Aramean army saw they were inside Samaria. The king of Israel asked Elisha if he should kill them, to which Elisha answered of course not, he also ordered them to set food and water for them to feast and drink and let them go back to Aram. Hence, the king of Israel gave the Assyrians food and drink and let them go back to Aram.

 

2 Kings 6 vs 16 (Niv)

“Don’t be afraid,” the prophet answered. “Those who are with us are more than those who are with them.”

 

Now there are many things you can learn from this true story like that you need to show grace, mercy, and many other things in this case I want you to learn that God is always with you even if you can’t see God.


Now let’s look at another bible story but this time the true story will be from the New Testament.

Now Jesus had been crucified and had risen from the dead! Now all the disciples have seen Jesus except for one Thomas. Thomas wasn’t there when Jesus came to the disciples and when Thomes came back the disciples said Jesus had come to them; Thomes said I won’t believe you until I put my finger through his hands and feet and put my finger into his side.

 

Then Jesus came and told Thomas to put his finger through his hand, and feet and into the hole in Jesus' side. Thomas did that and Jesus said Thomas you believed because you have seen, blessed are those who don’t see but yet believe. 

This is why Thomas is sometimes called doubting Thomas.

Isaiah 41:10 NIV

 "So do not fear, for  I am with you do not be dismayed for I am your God. I will strengthen  you  and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand."


You don't have to see God to know that God is there, but you have to just believe; but, if God shows you that’s ok. I am not talking about hearing and believing everything like news but I mean we should hear and believe without seeing what the bible says even though we can’t see it because the bible is trustworthy. After all, God is trustworthy and the bible is God’s word.


John 20:28-29 Niv

Thomas said to him; “ My Lord and my God! ”

Then Jesus told him, “Because you have seen me, you have believed; but blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.


Often, you might not see God but you should still believe that God exists and you will be blessed. 

Summary time 

We learned about Elisha and the Arameans; we also learned about doubting Thomas, and that we should believe the things it says in the bible even though we can’t see them, and that we should believe everything but only the things it says in the bible because the bible is trustworthy after all God is trustworthy and the bible is God’s word. 

Bye, see you soon.

 THE END.

Joy Isn’t Just a Feeling — It’s a Way of Living

  Joy Isn’t Just a Feeling — It’s a Way of Living In a world that often feels heavy with anxiety, distractions, and pressure to “keep it all together,” one word shines like a beam of sunlight through the storm: Joy . But what is joy, really? Isn’t it just another word for happiness? Not at all. Happiness is fleeting—it can vanish in a minute. Joy, however, remains . It goes deeper. It isn’t tied to circumstances, good moods, or success. Biblical joy is a spiritual reality that stays rooted in the heart of every believer, no matter what storms may come. This is what Smiley the joyful emoji teaches in a fun and faith-filled video. With energy and truth, Smiley reminds us that joy is not a surface emotion — it’s a spiritual strength. And it’s not something we fake. It’s something we live . Joy Is Stronger Than Feelings Joy lasts when happiness doesn’t. That’s because joy flows from the presence of God, not from our situations. In Galatians 5:22, joy is listed as one of the fruit of ...

Grace -The Gift That Changes Everything

  Grace The Gift That Changes Everything In a world that often demands perfection, performance, and payback, the message of grace shines like a warm light on a cold day. It’s a word that gets tossed around in church services and Bible studies, but what does it actually mean? And more importantly—why does it matter? To put it simply, grace is unmerited favor . It's love you can't earn, kindness you don't deserve, and forgiveness that surprises you. It's not just a theological idea or a churchy term; it's the heartbeat of the Christian faith, and it has the power to reshape how we live, how we love, and how we see ourselves and others. A Snowman’s Unexpected Response Let’s begin with a story—a simple one that even a child can understand, yet profound enough to challenge our daily reactions. It was a snowy afternoon when a group of boys decided to have some fun. They spotted a snowman standing tall in someone’s yard—carefully built, peaceful, and minding his own b...

When Almost Obedient Is Still Disobedient The Cost of Compromise

  When Almost Obedient Is Still Disobedient  The Cost of Compromise “To obey is better than sacrifice, and to heed is better than the fat of rams.” – 1 Samuel 15:22 (NIV) Obedience is not a suggestion in the kingdom of God—it’s a divine requirement. The Bible makes this abundantly clear through countless narratives that either exalt full submission to God or expose the cost of compromise. One of the most telling illustrations of this truth is found in the opening verses of the book of Judges. Judges 1:1–7 – A Strong Start, a Subtle Slip After Joshua’s death, Israel found itself without a central leader. The Promised Land had not yet been fully conquered, and the question arose: Who will lead us now? In what seems to be a hopeful beginning, the people seek the Lord for direction. God appoints the tribe of Judah to lead the charge against the Canaanites. Partnering with Simeon, Judah goes into battle and achieves a stunning victory—ten thousand men defeated at Bezek. But then, t...
