I know that God never leaves me. David wrote in the One Hundred Thirty Ninth Psalm of the presence of God regardless of our situation or place of enduring. So as He, I too endure. As I walk in the way He desires I endure the good fight of affliction with Him. And where I walk alone because I leave the path He has chosen for me then I struggle without His strength. Who am I that I should deny the Almighty Creator God of the universe?
I had a thought in my kitchen and I hesitate to mention it. My thought was “What if God left me?” I was immediately thrown up against the fridge with force. I remember thinking “Hey, that hurt”. At the very same moment the thought in my mind spoke clearly. “Did that feel like I left you?” Then I said aloud “No, but that really hurt”. Yet He has not left me. No matter what my feelings might be speaking to me. No matter what others might believe. It really did hurt. I did not like being roughed up. But here I was feeling sorry for myself because life hasn’t been all I thought it would be.
I just want to say to myself, “Dial one eight hundred wahh”. Or, “go to Lowes buy a ladder and get over it”. I am blessed beyond measure for I walk with a King! I can choose to have my conversation in the misery of this world or in the presence of Him who will carry me into the next. Thank You Lord, I love You. Let me be like Nebuchadnezzer at the end of Daniel Chapter four.
Now I John Jory praise and extol and honor the King of heaven, all whose works are truth, and his ways judgment: and those that walk in pride he is able to abase.
