Presence of God

Each one of us face our own unique set of circumstances which will challenge our faith in God. These circumstances may include discouragement, disappointment, frustration with others as well as yourself, lack of understanding, questions concerning the events that are taking place in your life, fears, doubts, and this is just the beginning of the issues that we may face as we make our journey through life. But I am not writing this to depress you or add more anxiety to your life. I am writing this to remind you once more of the promise of the presence of God. He is "Emmanuel, God with us." We can trust in the promise of the presence of God regardless of the situations that we may face. God will not walk away from us during our moments of pain or difficulty but He will draw near to us. He will come along side of us to assist us on the journey. There are times that I view Christ as the medic who arrives on the battlefield to attend to the wounded soldier. Christ will not leave you to die on the battlefield of life but He will attend to your injuries and provide the strength that you need to arise and continue your journey. Always remember to trust in the promise of the presence of God even when the moments of life are challenging and difficult. Take a moment, bow your head and thank God for His presence in the circumstances that you are facing at this very moment.
