October 31 Devotion

As we go about our day-to-day routines, it’s easy to forget just how near God is to us. But, it is also an easy reminder for us to remember that God‘s presence is all around us. That is because no matter where we go, he’s already been there. God has already been there. He has. No question. He is still there. And he will be there after we’re gone.

Now…I think it’s important for us to realize that this includes the good and the bad times. He rejoices with us when we celebrate our successes. Just as it is good for our hearts, it’s good for God. He loves us and he loves those moments for us. And just as he celebrates with us, he will see us through the tragedies, hardships, and any adversities that we face. And that is awesome.

So when the times come that you feel lonely, and you begin wondering, remember that God is everywhere. All the time! And that includes both around you and inside you. He is your hope and your love. Although he may not take away the pain and the suffering, he will provide you the path through those. He may not take away the tragedies and adversities, but he will provide you with the strength you need. And even greater than feeling his presence here on earth, just imagine when we feel his presence in heaven for eternity. Incredible! He will always be there, because he loves you. Always has. Always will.
