I may not see in front of me, But I can see for miles around when I look over my shoulder, and Lord, it`s clear. You`ve brought me here, So faithful every step of the way. What can I do but follow you, For You are the Way, the Truth, the Life, And You`ve promised never to leave me, My Savior, my friend, From beginning to end.
I Am Found In You

You have made known to me the paths of life; you will fill me with joy in your presence. Acts 2:28 NIV
In the presence of God, there is joy! I don't know about you, but joy sounds pretty good today!
You and I know that this world is not our home. We keep reminding ourselves of that fact as the bills come that we cannot pay; as the doctor says he cannot help; as the news comes at the loss of a loved one; when the marriage is falling apart. We know our future is bright, but right now, it is hard to see the forest for the trees.
We feel the burdens of life, and at times they seem unbearable. In the middle of a valley, as we fight just to stay alive, it is often difficult to picture the mountain tops.
In those times, when we need a Savior, praise God He is there! Our Redeemer lives! He stands ready to assist us in our time of need. He will not forsake us when the perilous days come, but will instead draw us closer to Him, and even carry us through the darkness until within His perfect timing He chooses to quiten the storm.
Dear friend, fellow Christian, I urge you: Draw closer to the cross of Jesus. Get into the presence of our Holy God! It is there you will find rest. It is in Him you will receive joy in the journey of life. It is with the Lord that peace will overtake the trials and strength will come to the weary!
In your presence Lord we find our hope! It is here we want to stay!
