Who Moved?

 

Be not far from me,

for trouble is near,

and there is none to help.

          Psalm 22.11

(Who moved?

       God hasn't.

God is faithfully with us.

How we seek God,

trust Him, walk with Him,

and spend time with Him

   in the everydays

increases our strength

in the extraordinary

            and overwhelming,

   when it comes about.

"If we do not do the running

steadily in the little ways,

we shall do nothing

                  in the crisis."

--Oswald Chambers

   My Utmost for His Highest)

O LORD,

We cry for You to be near.

Please help us.

It is in these times of hardship

   and troubles,

that we realize

      how much we need You.

Help us to run with You

   in the familiar and unfamiliar.

Engrave the reality of Your Presence

        on our hearts.

You are right here to help us,

         not far at all.
