Many people often complain that if God exists, He is entirely too hidden- He doesn't
really want to be discovered or is not there to be discovered in the first place. I have written before that I believe that sometimes God's hiddenness is of
value for bringing people to Him, for teaching people to trust Him and
not rely so much on their own abilities (See "Pain, Suffering, and Evil" in left sidebar). Today, I want to briefly explore the possibility that God remains hidden as part of his mitigation and eventual overcoming of evil.
But before I get into that I want to make something clear about God's hiddenness- it can seem very subjective. I firmly believe that those who are truly looking for God will find evidence for Him everywhere- He is not hidden to those who are looking. These people are those who desire to work against their sin nature, to become more like God.
