Divine Hiddenness

[Neo-Scholastic]

Swedenborg takes a similar position with respect to miracles, i.e. that they compel temporary superficial beliefs from the exterior, whereas faithfulness to the Lord comes from within after prayer and internal reflection. It is not so much that God is hidden as much as us not recognizing his presence. "Tis only the brilliance of light hiddeth thee," as the hymn goes. That said, some days the work of Divine Providence seems obvious to me. Other days, I have my doubts. Goes with being human, I suppose.
