When I said, "My foot is slipping," your love, O Lord, supported me. When anxiety was great within me, your consolation brought joy to my soul.
We are amazed at the vastness of God's reach, the awesome breadth of his power, and the glorious sweep of his majesty. An additional truth, incredible as it may seem, is God's personal nearness and attentiveness to our needs - his continual support and consolation. Our Father chooses to know us and be actively involved in the trials and triumphs we face each day. Imagine how today and every tomorrow will be different because we are aware of his presence and companionship in our lives. Know the difference knowing that God supports us when our feet slip and how near God's consolation is when our anxiety and fear rise. God, the Master of all creation, knows each of us and intervenes in our lives to support and console us!
Loving God, you are everywhere and always near. Please, dear Father, hear my heartfelt love and appreciation for you. I am overwhelmed at your presence near me and within me. You provide me comfort when I am under siege; you offer strength when I am weak; you give me courage when I am under attack; and you instill hope when all seems hopeless. These gifts of your presence are precious to me. Without your presence, I would not know where to go or why I am here. Thank you for knowing me and loving me. Dear Father, I look forward to knowing you one day as you know me today (
1 John 3:1-3;
1 Corinthians 13:12). In Jesus' name, I revel in your grace, rejoice in your presence, and reawaken to your presence each day to live for you. Amen.
