Dwelling with God (17)

                                        Christ with me, Christ before me, Christ behind me, Christ in me, Christ beneath me, Christ above me, Christ on my right, Christ on my left, Christ when I lie down, Christ when I sit down, Christ when I arise, — St. Patrick's Breastplate Prayer Where does God dwell? Our God, who is invisible to the human eye, who is larger than life, the infinite, eternal God, where can we find Him? Is His presence confined to heaven or maybe to the church buildings? Wherever He can be found, that is where I want to be. I long to be in His presence, to sense His nearness and to know Him as closely as if I were dwelling in His home. God is omnipresent, which means He is always present, never far from us. We can pray to Him wherever we are and we can commune with Him anywhere.

God is Wisdom (15)

  God does not give us everything we want, but He does fulfill His promises, leading us along the best and straightest path to Himself. — Dietrich Bonhoeffer No matter what stage of life you find yourself in today, you will always be making decisions, making choices, and seeking next steps. Whatever concern is on your mind right now, you can seek guidance and wisdom from the One true Wise God. Isaiah 30:21 says Whether you turn to the right or to the left, your ears will hear a voice  behind you, saying, “This is the way;  walk in it.” May the desire of our hearts be to have open ears that will hear His voice guiding us.  W orship the All Wise God Lord, Your wisdom is so much more than I could ever understand - I fall to my knees in worship of the only One who understands the minutia and the infinitude of this universe! Your thoughts are beyond what I could ever imagine or understand. I long to know You more, to understand even just a tiny bit of Your thoughts an...
