One Step Away

I haven’t been able to figure out what to write about. I personally feel like I’ve been at a standstill with this blog for the past 2 weeks. Right now, I’m just staring at the computer screen trying to see what words spill out. The only thing that pops into my head is Psalm 139. I always refer to this when I feel like God is 1,000 miles away or when I forget his unconditional love for me.

Verses 1-4 basically talk about how God knows EVERYTHING! He knows the next thought that you are going to think, he knows what you are going to say even before you say it, he knows when you sleep and when you wake up, and he knows your heart better than you know yourself. It makes sense that God would know you like the back of his hand....he’s the one that took his time making this beautiful version of you. My favorite part is verse 5 when it says, "You go before me and follow me. You place your hand of blessing on my head." Then jumping to verses 8- 10, it goes on to say that there's no where we can go where God won't be. We can be in the farthest ocean and and God's hand will still be there to guide us and he will still empower us with his strength. 

These few verses I use as a reminder to help me not forget that there isn't anything that I'm going through that God isn't already working on. There isn't any news that you've heard that he hasn't heard. There isn't any circumstance that is ever too big for him to handle. He is right there with you. If you're currently facing an obstacle...he is there facing it with you. He's going to help, guide and strengthen you.

Let God be the strong tower you lean on and let him guide you in your darkest moments. He truly cares and is never going to leave his own son or daughter alone. Allow this to be a reminder for you today that God has never left...he's not 1,000 miles away, he's ONE STEP AWAY.
