"Mama,
will you help me find the potty?"
Did my
youngest daughter really have trouble finding the bathroom in our own home? Of
course not! She just did not want to be alone in a place she considered scary.
Having someone with her made all the difference for Mercy.
In the same
way, we want to know that God our Father is present during the scary times in
our lives.
· How did the awareness of God's
presence make a difference for King David as recorded in Psalm 23:4 and Psalm
16:8?
· God is always present. How did God
show His presence in a more tangible way according to Matthew 1:23?
· What is the promise Jesus made before
He ascended into heaven (Matthew 28:20b)?
God's
presence comforts us in the moments when we are scared and overwhelmed, but
most of our lives are consumed with mundane chores. We do laundry, wipe snotty
noses, prepare food – and tomorrow we get up and do it all over again. Knowing
that God is with us, even in the mundane, enables us to see the daily work He
has set before us as good, worthwhile and glorifying to Him. It can turn a
chore into a worship experience.
· Take five sticky notes and write
"God is with me!" on them. Now post them in areas where they are most
visible while you are doing your chores. Enjoy His presence today!
