I searched for an analogy to compare the constant presence of God in our lives but found none! No surprise there! There is no one like our God. None that could compare to His likeness. He is ever present. When you walk through the valley of the shadow of death, he is right there with you. When you walk through the fire, He covers you under His wings. He hears you even before you call Him. He knows your heart beat. He knows your thoughts. He knows your fears. He sees your struggles.You are not alone.
The breath of life that you and I have this moment is a hidden privilege. Something that we rarely thank God for. We hear of accidents, acts of brutality and violence, deadly diseases, wars and inhumane practices against fellow human beings yet, we enjoy this moment of peace and quiet. This life we so enjoy is a gift from God. God is our constant source of strength and refuge. He is waiting for that day when you will have the most perfect encounter with Him. When you will uncover the true meaning of life! Whether you like it or not, whether you believe it or not, whether you need Him or not, the truth of the matter is, Jesus loves you. He still loves you. Don't slam the door shut in His face. He is waiting for you right outside, but the key to that door is in your hands. It is grace that prevents Him from leaving you.
John 10:9,10 says, 'I am the gate; whoever enters through me will be saved. They will come in and go out, and find pasture. The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.'
God sends His angels to guard over your every step. When your feet slipped for a moment, it was the angel of God who caught you and saved you from what could've been a fatal fall. Something as small as missing a train, waking up late, getting stuck in traffic, bending down to look for something, running out of sugar, taking the stairs, the deviation from the regular routine did not happen as a coincidence but according to God's master plan to save you from a cruel danger. Often you may not notice this moment of rebirth. Often instead of thanking God, you may get angry with Him. We forget that God sees the big picture of our life and what we see is just the teaser.
Our God is quicker than any 911! He is more than a response in times of emergency. He is more than a solution but a permanent fix. While in a flood, some hold on to logs of wood and stone. They've got a momentary grip. Like the piece of wreck they hold on to, they too are headed for a fall. But for us, we hold on to Christ our Anchor. The Author of our salvation. The Life Saver. Our Shade in the desert.
Psalm 121:2
My help comes from the Lord- the Maker of heaven and earth.
Psalm 37: 23,24
The Lord firms the steps of the one who delights in Him. Though He may stumble, he will not fall,
for the Lord upholds him with His hand.
Psalm 91:9 - 16
If you say,"The Lord is my refuge,"and you make the Most High your dwelling, no harm will overtake you,no disaster will come near your tent. For he will command His angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways; they will lift you up in their hands, so that you will not strike your foot against a stone. You will tread on the lion and the cobra; you will trample the great lion and the serpent. "Because he loves me" says the Lord,"I will rescue him; I will protect Him, for he acknowledges my name. He will call on me, and I will answer him; I will be with Him in trouble,
I will deliver him and honor him. With long life I will satisfy him and show him my salvation.
