Crowded with God

Are we just blind or what?!?!
I don’t mean to be brash but I find myself asking this question especially when I feel down and hopeless. Think about it…
In the Bible we see Jesus constantly telling His followers about God and His nature. God knows it all. He sees it all and just based on this fact, Jesus questions the disciples about their faith every time they freak out about something or have doubts cloud their mind.
“Where is your faith?”
Jesus and His Word makes it absolutely clear - God is everything and there is no escaping Him. You can run and hide and God will find you. You can bury a secret in the depths of your mind and heart but God sees and feels everything that is within you. Because this is God we are talking about.
As a Christian, I should know and be certain of the fact that Jesus is around and that I am always covered by His presence, love and grace. I’ve no room to doubt, fear or freak out. But yet I do. Because I am a weak human and I fail everyday. And here is Jesus continuing to love me despite this.
If the room is crowded, you’d notice it right? The world is crowded with Jesus. He is literally everywhere you look. And there are those days when we even fail to notice Him. There are those days when we fail to remember that He is around for us and that we are safe in His hands. We just worry and fear like blind people. So again I ask the question…. Are we blind?
Yes and no. No; We are not blind because we all as Christians know and believe that we are in need of a Savior to help us and save us. And yes; because we forget sometimes when the world and the things in it manage to overwhelm us and push us off track.
My prayer for all of us today is that we constantly have our eyes opened to the beautiful knowledge of God’s presence around us. In His presence, fear has no place in us. He crowds the world and every space and crevice in our hearts and souls. Evil will not win today or ever.
