When I said, My foot slippeth; thy mercy, O LORD, held me up. — Psalm 94:18

We are amazed by how far God’s reach is, how powerful he is, and how magnificent his majesty is. God’s personal closeness to us is another fact that may seem hard to believe. He chooses to know us and be a part of the good and bad things that happen to us every day. How will today or tomorrow be different now that you know he is there and will be with you? What does it matter if you know he’ll catch you if you trip or that he’ll be there to calm you down if your nerves start to get the best of you?

Prayer

Please listen to my heart, loving God, who is everywhere and always close. I can’t believe how close you are to me and how much you are a part of me. The comfort you give me when I’m under attack, the strength you give me when I’m weak, the courage you give me when I’m under siege, and the hope you give me when it seems like there’s no hope are all gifts that I value very much. I wouldn’t know where to go or why I’m here without you. I’m glad you know who I am. I hope to know you one day as well as you know me now. In the name of Jesus, I pray. Amen.
