Today I’ve been at the bedside of my little one as he has undergone, yet, another surgery. All is well! He is doing great.
I’ve been present to him. Even when there was nothing I could do, but comfort him and pray for him and all else was out of my hands, I was present for him.
“Because of Christ and our faith in him, we can now come boldly and confidently into God’s presence.” Ephesians 3:12 (NLT)
God is always present in my life. Even when God is not making himself “known” to me in a huge way, I know He is always there. It’s like holding the hand of my spouse on a quiet walk. Feeling the warmth of his hand in mine and knowing he is always there, someone I can always count on.
That’s how it is with God. He is ever present. But when we are in times that are “crisis free”….we tend to forget and go along our merry way without thinking about His presence in our lives.
Are you present for someone in your life? Have you acknowledged God’s presence in your life lately?
