“Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what you have, because God has said, ‘Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you." Hebrews 13:5 (NIV)
As you jump back into the pursuit of your career, your business, your responsibilities never overlook the FACT that God is there and He is talking to us all day long if we will just listen for Him and then to Him.
Max Lucado writes in “In the Eye of the Storm,” “Let me state something important. There is never a time during which Jesus is not speaking. Never. There is never a place in which Jesus is not present. Never. There is never a room so dark...a lounge so sensual...an office so sophisticated...that the ever present, ever pursuing, relentlessly tender friend is not there, tapping gently on the doors of our hearts—waiting to be invited in.
“Few hear His voice. Fewer still open the door. But never interpret our numbness as His absence. For amidst the fleeting promises of pleasure is the timeless promise of His presence.” — Max Lucado “In the Eye of the Storm”
“Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you.” The original language here is much more emphatic than our English is. It would be literally translated, “Never, never, never will I leave you; never, never, never will I forsake you.” He is there. Stop long enough to feel Him and listen to Him today in the eye of your storm.
Prayer: Lord Jesus, knowing You’re alive is marvelous, but knowing You are right here with me is incredible. Thank You for giving Your life for me so You could then give me Your constant presence and voice. Help me today to be aware of Your presence and sensitive to Your voice. AMEN.
Blessings!
Pastor Roger
