When the Canaanites needed help, their god, Ba'al, stayed on top of his lofty perch of Mt. Carmel and never lifted a finger.

When the Greeks needed help, their god, Zeus, stayed on top of his lofty perch of Mt. Olympus and never lifted a finger (except when he saw a beautiful woman he wanted to chase).

When the Jews needed help, their God, YHWH, came down from the mountain to dwell in their midst and do the most unexpected and surprising of things on their behalf: reconcile relationship with them.

Our God has not abandoned us, though we may be living in a time of despair.  God is here, tabernacling amongst us in Jesus Christ.  God has, once again, done a most unexpected and surprising thing.
