Morning Inception: He is With You

It is the Lord that goes before you. He will be with you; He will not leave you or forsake you. Do not fear or be dismayed. -Deuteronomy 31:8


There are some places that no one can go with you. When my oldest son was four years old, we took him to the Children's Hospital because He had an abnormally large lymph node under his chin. He was hurting and whimpered instead of cried because of the pain. As any dad, I felt helpless. What was even worse is that I couldn't accompany him into a room where they began tests to hold his hand.
Although he was my son and loved him very much, I had to leave him. Our Father in heaven says He will not leave us and never forsake us, especially during times we need Him the most. How comforting is that to us that have meetings that may determine our jobs, or job interviews that are sorely dependent on success for lack of funds, or a doctor's visit that may include some very bad news. How comforting to know that He is with us, holding us up and strengthening us. How comforting to know that the Lord of Lords and the Kings of Kings is with us when we most need Him. Amen!
