All Shall Be Well: Awakening To God's PresenceSample

God Sustains Us 

Have you ever held a tiny baby in your arms? I recall the words of an old song: “He’s got the whole world in His hands.” Can you imagine God, holding all of Creation tenderly in His arms? 

As the verses of Job tell us, even the animals know this, as do the birds in the sky and the fish in the sea. The heavens proclaim the glory of God, after all, displaying His truth, proclaiming Himself. We, all of us, everything He created, are His offspring, and He holds us in His hands. 

And why does He do this? As Paul preaches in Acts, it is so that we might seek Him, so that we might reach out for Him and find Him…for He is not far from any of us. 

Oh, what wonderful truth, proclaimed by both Creation and Scripture: He is here. God is here, right here. 

Will you reach out your hands and rest in His presence, today?
