And as he thinks of all the long- stretching preparations, all the apparently hostile forces which have been truly subsidiary, all the generations during which these Egyptian and Ethiopian tribes have been the enemies and oppressors of that Israel whom they at last acknowledge for the dwelling-place of God, and enemies of that Jehovah before whom they finally bow down, he feels that he has no measuring-line to fathom the divine purposes, and bows his face to the ground in reverent contemplation with that word upon his lips: 'Verily Thou art a God that hidest Thyself, O God of Israel, the Saviour. It is a parallel to the apostolic words, 'O the depths of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God.
Sometimes thou hidest thy sweet face; The way is dark, I can not trace. Thou doest best; I'll not repine, But say, "Thy will be done, not mine." Since them art good, so good, to me, I beg to be some use to thee: Intensify thy love divine Within my heart, that I may shine A little brighter, Lord, for thee, That others thy great love may see.
Answer, I doubt thou dost not speak thine heart plainly, but hidest thyself with so saying, as with an apron; if we inquire into what it is to hold froth Jesus the Son of Mary to be the substance. And again, he bore our sins in his own body on the tree, which was the cross on Mount Calvary.
Why hidest Thou Thyself in times of trouble?" "Verily Thou art a God that hidest Thyself." In saying this we do not suggest that such an attempt to explain the phenomena of evil by God's supposed absence from the world is defensible; we do say that the belief in His all-encompassing nearness makes those phenomena even more difficult of explanation than they were before.
Thus spake Zarathustra. "Why stealest thou along so furtively in the twilight, Zarathustra? And what hidest thou so carefully under thy mantle? Is it a treasure that hath been given thee? Or a child that hath been born thee? Or goest thou thyself on a thief's errand, thou friend of the evil?"
I wished the remaining hour could be prolonged indefinitely Psalm 104 spoke reassuringly to me. It reminded me of the way God took care of man and beast: "Thou openest thine hand and they are filled with good." But then the very next verse warned me that "Thou hidest thy face, they are troubled: thou takest away their breath, they die."
"What task would I not undertake, what privation would I not cheerfully endure, to testify my love of thee? Alas! thou hidest thyself from my view: glimpses only of thy excellence and beauty are afforded me. Would that a momentary emanation from thy glory would visit me! that some unambiguous token of thy presence would salute my senses! "In this mood, I entered the house of my sister.
London, thou Niobe, who sittest in stone, amidst thy stricken and fated children; nurse of the desolate, that hidest in thy bosom the shame, the sorrows, the sins of many sons; in whose arms the fallen and the outcast shroud their distresses, and shelter from the proud man's contumely; Epitome and Focus of the disparities and maddening contrasts of this wrong world, that assemblest together in one great heap the woes, the joys, the elevations, the debasements of the various tribes of man; mightiest of levellers, confounding in thy whirlpool all ranks, all minds, the graven labours of knowledge, the straws of the maniac, purple and rags, the regalities and the loathsomeness of earth, palace and lazar-house combined!
Even the loss of grannie would be but for a few days, and he has the Lord Himself in the midst of it all." But this was a mistake on Katie's part. For all this time, strangely and sadly enough, he was ringing the changes on his old complaint: "Thou art a God that hidest Thyself." He had not the Lord Himself in those days.
Only if an hour should come when thou must seem to forsake me, watch me all the time, lest self-pity should awake, and I should cry that thou wast dealing hardly with me. For when thou hidest thy face, the world is a corpse, and I am a live soul fainting within it.
