“And surely I am with you always, to the very
end of the age.”
What a beautiful
thing. We are never alone. Even if the broken road we are on is not what we had
planned, we do not journey on our own. Though at times we may feel lonely because
our loved ones are far away, or have gone home to be with the Lord, we can
always share moments with our God. That place of peace amidst this hectic and
corrupt world awaits us. This quiet, tranquil place lies within us. It is not a
specific location, it is anywhere, for whatever is happening in our
life, we can talk with Him, cry with Him, share a beautiful sunset with Him,
walk through the snow with Him, drive to work with Him, have lunch with Him,
cry out to him in pain, share our grief with Him, love and laugh with Him. He
has told us time and again; “Surely I am
with you always, to the very end of the age.”
The bible reminds us
of God’s presence in our lives in multiple places, and in different ways. Why
then, do we seem to forget?
John 8: 12: Again Jesus spoke to them, saying, “I am the light
of the world. Whoever follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the
light of life.”
Matthew 7:7: Ask, and it will be given to you; seek and you will
find; knock and it will be opened to you.
Psalm 23:1-6; A Psalm of David; The Lord is my shepherd; I shall
not want. He makes me lie down in green pastures. He leads me beside still
waters. He restores my soul. He leads me in paths of righteousness for his
name’s sake. Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I
will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort
me. You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; you anoint my
head with oil; my cup overflows….
Proverbs 3:5-6 Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not
lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him and he will
make straight your paths.
Let us be reminded of His
unfailing love, and simply “be with Him” throughout our day. It’s so comforting
to have a friend by our side.
