God Is

God is our refuge and our strength, and ever present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear, though the earth give way and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea, though its waters roar and foam and the mountains quake with their surging. There is a river whose stream make glad the city of God the holy place where the Most High dwells God is within her, she will not fall; God will help her at the break of day. Psalm 46:1-5 NIV

Do you see it? Are you able to view things from under the fog you are in? I have been in that place far more often than I would like to admit. Things that discourage me and cause me to simply want to give up and walk away. I sometimes feel as though all I ever do is walk over that same mountain range. Day in and day out. It feels like I will never get to the end and walk on flat land again.

Have you ever been that discouraged? C'mon admit it! Be honest.

This morning when I woke up after yet another trip across that mountain range, I received this scripture from one of my sons. He sent it to me in a very simple e-mail. Then he said "I love you" . Isn't it amazing how those three little words can speak volumes? I received them from my son, but as I write this I realize that they were from God! The above scripture is the reference my son sent. He knows me well. He knows that when my heart is fearful, when I am feeling overwhelmed that I need to be reminded that God is with me, and that I will not fall. That He will help me at the break of the day! Yes my friends, God is! And more than that, He loves you! (and me)

Lord, once again I realize that Your word is ever true. That You do care and You do carry me through the rough times, across those mountains. Help me to see You in those mountains. Amen
