GOD is still there

Ever have a moment in your life when you wondered if GOD was still there? I mean, things are going wrong, and going wrong in a hurry, in every way imaginable, and it seems to be getting worse. Yeah, I think we have all been there. I think we have all had those moments when we wondered if GOD had forgotten or forsaken us. BUT, He hasn't and He doesn't.

We may feel as if we are all alone. We may feel as if we have been left to fend for ourselves. We may feel as if we have been hung out to dry. But, what we are actually doing is growing. There will be times that we find ourselves in a pickle of our own making. There will be other times that we find ourselves in a mess because of a broken world. In either case, though, GOD has not forsaken us - He's still there.

Today's word is a quote from Billy Graham that says, "When hard times come we easily get discouraged. But behind the clouds GOD is still present, and can even use them to water our souls with unexpected blessings."

We need not think that GOD has left us to fend for ourselves. Yes, we may have made our own bed, and now we must sleep in it, but GOD is still there waiting for us to turn to Him. It is necessary at times for us to go through things to grow us; you can't get new growth until you prune the dead away. But, even when we are going through the trials of our own making, GOD will not leave us there one second longer than necessary to get rid of the impurities hindering us.

If you look around and feel that you are all alone in this world, stop looking around and start looking up. We will not find GOD in the hog pen but He is still there waiting for us to return to Him. Like the father of the prodigal son, GOD awaits our return, ready to fall on our necks and give us a holy kiss. Don't feel as if He has left you - GOD is still there.

Be Blessed,
