God Kows Our Location

John 1:48, "Nathaniel said to Him, "How do you know me?"  Jesus answered and said to him, "Before Philip called you, when you were under the fig tree, I saw you." (NKJV)

I often remind people that God is aware of all that is taking place in your life.  I read a quote many years ago that revealed this truth to my heart; "God may be silent but He is never absent."  I choose to believe in the presence of God (based on His stated promises in the Bible) and not the absence or unconcern of God. I have seen these promises revealed in our lives throughout our time on this earth and I firmly convinced that each of us have seen some type of revelation of the presence of God.  There are times that we have to "hold to God's unchanging hand" and not allow the enemy to work his strategies in our life.  The enemy of our soul seeks to undermine or overthrow our faith in the promises of God.  The enemy seeks to make us feel all alone and unrecognized by God but all of us must remember that we are never out of the sight of God.

Beginning on Sunday and continuing through yesterday I have heard several testimonies from people concerning the revelation of the presence of God.  Some of these testimonies have come through personal conversation while others have come through emails or text messages.  Each of these individuals have been facing their personal set of trials and neither of them were aware of the other individuals interaction with me.  Can I pause and say, "Isn't God simply amazing?"   These revelations from God covered the full spectrum of needs.  Some of these needs were physical, some were emotional, some were financial, while others were of a spiritual nature.  But there is one common theme among them all; God revealed His presence to them through various means so that they could identify His presence and remember that they are truly not alone in their difficulty.  You may be in need of one of those "revelations" today.  Do not despair and do not be fretful today.  Christ saw Nathaniel under the tree and He sees you sitting under the stress of your life today.  Take a moment and ask Him to reveal His presence and offer thanks to God for His amazing kindness and love.
