The God Who Hides Himself

It is not easy for God to reveal Himself.  It requires a passion to know Him on our part.  How can He help those who, if He worked a miracle in response to their cry, would give credit to Buddha, to Allah, or to some “spirit” or idol or occult force?  Reinforcing faith in false gods would not be a kindness but would only grease the road to hell.  God hides Himself—yet not from those who can see, only from those who cannot.  The ego of man is so inflated that it obscures the God who fills the universe, whose infinite wisdom and power are conspicuous in every leaf and star.
