In the Fog of Life,
We too easily think
We are Lost,
But God Is With Us!
Psalms 42:2
My soul thirsts for God, for the living God. When shall I come and behold the face of God?
Matthew 7:8
For everyone who asks receives, and everyone who searches finds, and for everyone who knocks, the door will be opened.
Words of Grace For Today
As those who would destroy us attack, and the challenges of each day overwhelm us – yet again – it is easy to think that God is not anywhere to be found, that one needs God to show God’s face in order to find our way into the next day.
God’s promise may be that if we ask we will receive, if we search we will find, if we knock the door will be opened, and …
and still God seems so far,
our enemies seem so strong,
and the challenges do not get easier, and they become seemingly insurmountable.
…
It is a different day indeed that we live, as the Holy Spirit gives us the courage to recognize that God is already here, walking through all the challenges with us, and facing down our enemies with a simply word.
So God is with us, each and every day, to the dismay of our enemies, and to the delight of all who know God also walks with them!
