We hear many stories about people who feel so alone in such a crowded world - and many times they ARE alone without family or friends nearby! I used to wonder how that could be until last year with an event from a nearby neighbor. He has many health problems and fell early one morning - before he had on his emergency caller. He was unable to get up and lay on the floor for 3 days. (He did survive and is doing very well.) What a lesson to all of us in the neighborhood about the importance of staying in touch - and that this CAN happen right here and now!
Many stories in the Bible tell about people who tried to hide from God - or that did not feel God's Presence. Today's reading is such a blessed reminder that no matter if we are alone or just feel lonely, or try to hide from our Lord, He is is with us.
Another scripture that is a good one to memorize is one that tells us of God's never-ending Presence is from Romans 8:38-39: "For I am persuaded that neither death nor life nor angels nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Crhist Jesus our Lord."
