If we know how great the love of Jesus is for us, we will never be afraid to go to Him in all our poverty, all our weakness, all our spiritual wretchedness… we will prefer to come to Him poor and helpless. We will never be ashamed of our distress. Thomas Merton
My prayer today is that of Jehosophat “Lord I am powerless against this challenge in my life. I do not know what to do and I am looking to you for help. (2 Chron 20:12 paraphrased) Jehosophat faced a massive army that outnumbered his own. He stood before the people and announced to God that he didn’t know what to do. I respect that.
As Jesus/God is omnipresent, running away from Him may mean you run right to Him. Thank God, God is everywhere. In our thoughts, our failings and misgivings, our frailties and brokenness, our triumphs and daily lives. We can ignore Him but He doesn’t go away. How can He? The omnipresent, omniscient ruler of the universe. He is in all, sees all, is all. He is everything, initiator of restoration and faith itself.
