Blind spot

When I was doing my bike test the instructer continually was emphasising the need for checking your blind spot so before every change of lane or direction you had to check over your shoulder. To show me this on one occasion he stood at my right shoulder and ask me to try and find him in the mirrors, I couldn't. Isn't it funny how God can get into a blind spot at times in your life, you look for him everywhere but He can't be found. No direction, no counsel, no purpose, all is silent. Maybe its only me this happens to, God is in the blind spot and we are desperatley and sometimes unwillingly being forced to change lane but we can't seem to get the go ahead because we search for God in our mirrors and can't find Him. In road safety the policy is don't make the move until your sure and I endorse it in the realm of your life. My life is in a big lane change at the moment, for 4 months I've fervently and desperately sought God, for much of that time He has remained in my blind spot but I've franticly looked around and of late have found Him and began to hear His sweet voice again.
I have no answer for you as to why God does this maybe its Him testing how long you'll wait or how passionatley you'll search, I just don't know. But this I do know, He's true to His word when He said, "Call upon Me and I WILL answer".

Praise God that even though we can't always see Him in our mirrors, we can look over our shoulder to see Him behind us and to see how He has carried us through to that particular point in time. Maybe reminiscing on the wonderful works of the Lord in our lives to date will help get us through the blind spot and bring us out safely at the other side.
