What God Is Doing Underground
Trust in the Lord with all your heart…
Proverbs 3:5 (NIV)

One of the greatest mistakes in our spiritual lives is measuring God only by what can be seen. When there is no visible evidence, we assume nothing is happening. But that’s not true.

Some of God’s best work is not done above ground. It happens underneath the surface. Seeds grow where eyes cannot see. Water flows underground long before anything breaks the soil.

When Mary stood at the tomb, assuming defeat, she didn’t realize that the resurrection was already in motion. Faith fails only when it demands visible proof before trusting God.

You can be paralyzed if you keep looking for evidence of God above the ground. But God is often forming peace beneath chaos, strength beneath sorrow, joy beneath grief.

This is why faith must endure. Not naive optimism, but defiant persistence. Even when grief presses hard, do not let it leave without bestowing God’s gifts on you. God uses grief to move us, mature us, and deepen us.

What you cannot see may be the strongest work God is doing. And what feels like stillness may be preparation.
