Me: Howdy, Prodigal!
Prodigal: Howdy! I was just listening to some people talk about their view of God. They said that He is far away and is not present.
Me: Well, that is not true at all. God is ever present! Let me quote from you James Boice
The God of the Bible is not weak; He is strong. He is all-mighty. Nothing happens without His permission or apart from His purposes–even evil. Nothing disturbs or puzzles Him. His purposes are always accomplished. Therefore those who know Him rightly act with boldness, assured that God is with them to accomplish His own desirable purposes in their lives.
We can chose to be distracted by the world and then we will not see with spiritual eyes all that God is doing around you this moment. Guess what, no harm came to you this morning yet? Could that have happened? Yes, and yet you were protected. Did you praise God about it? No, because life has us thinking of a million different things to do today. That is ok, because it happens to all of us. So just for the next two minutes. Be still and just praise God. It will help make a difference in your day today!
James 1:22
But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your selves.
