The Presence of God

Rocks do not move...men do.When we place ourselves on HIS ROCK, He will be faithful to give us all we need to stand.  His presence and life, are what give us life.  If we allow circumstances, feelings to move us from this sure and firm place....we can easily lose sight of what the problem is...we moved...He did not.  Even FOG (not knowing the future) does not become a threat, when we remember to Be Still and Know...HE IS GOD.  His Presence is enough.  We are not lost, just waiting.

"The reality of God’s presence is not dependent on any place, but only dependent upon the determination to set the Lord always before us. Our problems come when we refuse to bank on the reality of His presence. The experience the Psalmist speaks of – "Therefore will we not fear, though . . ." will be ours when once we are based on Reality, not the consciousness of God’s presence but the reality of it – Why, He has been here all the time!

At critical moments it is necessary to ask guidance, but it ought to be unnecessary to be saying always – "O Lord, direct me here, and there." Of course He will! If our common-sense decisions are not His order, He will press through them and check; then we must be quiet and wait for the direction of His presence. ~Oswald Chambers (My Utmost for His Highest; (Jul 20th)
