With Us Always – CD Swanson
For in the day of trouble he will keep me safe in his dwelling; he will hide me in the shelter of his sacred tent and set me high upon a rock. Psalm 27:5
My husband and I have been speaking about possibly relocating back to where most of our family lives. So many variables. make it difficult to do at this time. However, one thing we walked away with after our discussions. We remembered, no matter where we are, the LORD is right there with us!
Sheltering in His love, knowing He is our Rock, is a comforting piece of knowledge and a visceral feeling of peace that’s beyond description. Resting in His love, is the most important place to be.
No matter where we live. God is there. We can talk with Him. He is the most interesting Being to engage in any conversation. He is the only One that can bring a fountain of wisdom directly to us and love us beyond the capacity of all others.
At this time, we are where we are supposed to be. And though family members are grossly disappointed, we know it isn’t time for us to relocate yet. Perhaps ever. Only time will tell. You can’t plan life. Life plans you. And in the midst of those plans, is the LORD. He is essentially the One in control of it all.
Let us never forget, “God is with us, holding us, loving us, and He will NEVER leave us.”
“Father, thank You for guiding us, every step of the way, for giving us clarity, in situations that otherwise would be cloudy and vague. Thank You, for the love You give us daily, we know You are with us, and always have been since the beginning of time, in Jesus name, Amen.”
