BOB PEDEN

Good Morning!

God’s presence is inescapable. Adam and Eve tried to hide from God. The psalmist cried out in desperation “where can I go to flee from your Presence O God. Paul assured the Athenians that God was not far from any one of us.

If God is ever present in our world, how is it that we so often are not aware of Him? The answer is that God’s real presence and our awareness of his presence are not the same thing. There can be one without the other. God is here even when we are totally unaware of Him. As Christians our goal should be to become ever more aware of God’s nearness. We sing “Nearer my God to Thee” not to bring God closer to us but that we might live more nearly constantly aware of God’s presence as we live, move, breath, think, and love.

My prayer for you today is that you might live, aware of God’s presence in you.
