The Day God Went Missing

Mary thought she knew where Jesus was on Easter morning, but all she found was an empty tomb. “Where have you moved him?” she cried with anguished sobs.

Too often I am like Mary. I think I know where God is and what He should be doing. But I don’t feel His presence. I don’t see Him act. “Where are You?” my voice echoes through the tomb.

God isn’t there. He has a plan much bigger than mine. I may not understand it yet. But this seeming catastrophe might be God’s answer to the needs of my heart and those of the whole world.

May I reach out in faith this Easter and trust Him even when the tomb is empty. Because the tomb is empty. Because He is God.
