God remembered Noah, and every living thing, and all the animals that were with him in the ark. - Genesis 8:1

At times when the going get tough, we tend to resent and even question God for His intention of putting us through such a situation. The frustration at times can cause us to divert our attention and turn away from God. We may be attracted to short term gain that cannot be sustained.

In no circumstances, God do not care for us. In fact, He is always near and it is by our own default that we should experience any distance. By constant prayer and keeping regular quiet time with God's Words, we will know that God cares. If He can provide for the sparrows, how much more He would for those who love Him and do His will. Do not be despair. Trust and obey for there is no other way, to be happy with Jesus is to trust and obey.

To know that God sees us brings both conviction and comfort

If anyone thirsts, let him come to Me and drink ....... Out of his heart will flow rivers of living water. - John 7:37 - 38

We all know that when hunger and thirst strike, we do need food and liquid. Our bodies are made to depend on air, food and water. Any deficiency of each of these would render the body to react poorly. On the other hand, too much impure food or liquid would equally damage the body.

Spiritually too, the dearth of holiness would grieve our heart and soul. We need to safeguard ourselves from allowing unwelcome spirit to fill the gaps that we unwittingly left them available to wrong desires. Remember that our Lord would send His Holy Spirit to replace His presence. Our heart can never be half filled or half empty. Jesus will provide His overflowing love that is sufficient to let us have life abundantly. 

Christ departed so that the Holy Spirit could be imparted.
