If God is everywhere, why does He sometimes seem so far away? The answer to that question, of course, has nothing to do with God and everything to do with us.
We live in a fast-paced world. The demands of everyday life can seem overwhelming at times, but when we slow ourselves down and seek the presence of a loving God, we invite His peace into our hearts.
Do you have a big dream? Well I am here to testify that you have a big God! Place that dream on the altar, and ask God for His perfect timing and for Him to open the doors for that dream to become reality. God will open doors, but sometimes you have to knock. He will do it, or He will change your dream. My favorite verse is, "I can do everything through Him who gives me strength" Philippians 4:13
Resist or surrender....it's your choice. Relax into the freedom of grace. Surrender your disappointment to God. Allow room for creative responses to arise instead of holding on tightly to either-or scenarios. When you have faced and accepted what is, you open the door to new possibilities.
Slow yourself down, tune out the distractions, and listen carefully. God has important things to say; your task is to be still and listen.
The familiar words of Psalm 46:10 remind us to "Be still, and know that I am God." When we do so, we encounter the awesome presence of our loving Heavenly Father, and we are comforted in the knowledge that God is not just near. He is here.
Blessings,
