God Sees

 “. . . Everything is uncovered and laid bare before the eyes of him to whom we must give account.”

Hebrews 4:13

Everyday it seems I’m climbing a mountain against my will.  I stand at the foot of my mountain of trouble wondering if I’ll ever make it to the top.  Just when I get my footing, I slip on razor sharp words that rip me in two.  Breathless, I continue my climb only to fall onto a past I thought I had left behind.  In terrible agony, I drench in self-pity, convinced I’ll never know God’s love.

During my treacherous climb, I failed to realize God is with me every step of the way.  I can’t see him.  Sometimes, I can’t feel him.  But he’s there.  “For your ways are in full view of the Lord, and he examines all your paths.”  (Proverbs 5:21)

Prayer:    Lord, no matter what my circumstance, help me see your glory.

Think:     How did God bring you out of your troubles?  When did you notice his presence?
