What a blessing to know that GOD IS WITH US - in each and every situation that we face in life! When I began my training in spiritual direction, that was one of the first points that I learned - the importance of looking for God in ALL things.
My big "test" in holding on to this belief is when I tumbled all the way down a huge escalator at a local airport. I truly thought I was dying, but then the thought entered my mind, "Where is God?" That's when I hit the floor; on one side of me appeared an intensive care nurse and on the other was a paramedic - both who had just gotten off a plane! I have no doubt that these were God's "earth angels," as I heard my daughter say to the local security officers!
Another scripture that speaks so clearly about God's never-ending Presence is the one from Romans 8:38-39:
38 For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord."
Do you have other scriptures that you use when needing reassurance of God's Presence? I know that this is a good one to memorize but I'm also sure that there are many more.
