 January 29, 2023 -  Closer Than Breathing  "This time I will spare the region of Goshen, where my people live.  No flies will be found there.   Then you will know that I am the Lord and that I am present even in the heart of your land.  I  will make a clear distinction between my people and your people."  Exodus 8: 22-23

This is what I struggle with.  I don't remember that God is with me always.  I try to think of Him sitting beside me or walking with me or just hovering over my shoulder.  I struggle with Him being 'in my heart' all of the time.  Maybe it is because I am headstrong sometimes (well, most of the time).  Maybe it is because I think I can handle everything on my own.  Even though I pray more frequently and with more emotion, I still struggle with knowing that He is always with me.  I see the effects of God in sunrises, in our grandchildren, in the white flakes of snow falling from the sky, in keeping us safe when we travel.  I still have a hard time with comprehending that He is always here with me.  Why is that?

Lord, my breath and hope, thank You for being so near.  Amen.
