The God Who Accompanies
Jacob said that God answered him in his day of distress, and then he said that God has been with him wherever he went. Such a beautiful phrase.
I wonder if that's the God that you know and worship? Well, I know that He is the true God who is always with His children. I hope that you've known that and that you can also describe Him that way when people ask you who He is.
Trust in Him
Which reminds me of the story of the father and daughter who come home after the very sad occasion of the funeral of his wife, her mother. That night the father placed the little girl's bed next to his so that they could be together. None of them could fall asleep. But finally he heard a little voice in the darkness saying, “Daddy, it's dark, I can't see you, but you're there, aren't you?” “Yes, dear, I'm right here next to you. Everything's OK,” he said. And eventually she dropped off to sleep.
And in the darkness the Father wept and said, “Heavenly Father, it's so dark. I can't see you, but you're there, aren't you?” And immediately they came to him, a sense of peace as his Heavenly Father said to him, just what he said to his little girl: “Yes, of course I'm here. I'm here. Everything's going to be OK.”
God Is Faithful
Do you need to remember today that God is with you? Maybe you can't see Him in the darkness. But that doesn't mean He's not right there, and that doesn't mean that He's not going to get you through whatever you're going through.
Jacob discovered that God was with him all throughout his life. May it be the same for you.
