“It’s an unbreakable spiritual lifeline, reaching past all appearances right to the very presence of God.” Hebrews 6:19 NLT
It’s always something. As Famous and I leave the house on our way to walk through the neighborhood, I inevitably will remember I need the house key in my hand, or I left a bottle inside for the recycling bin, or I forgot to pick up a letter to mail. Then, I am thankful I use a retractable nylon lead attached to his collar. As he goes out to the porch, I have the length and flexibility of his tether to allow the front door to close between us while I retrieve the forgotten item in the next room. He waits patiently knowing he is always supposed to remain at the top of the porch until I join him before we descend the steps together.
But God never forgets his promises. They are as sure as a “lifeline” that will never break. It may be very tempting to blame God when the things we count as secure–our families, our homes, our jobs, or our health–are destroyed. Even when we feel separated from God, as though a door has closed between us, He is constant in his faithful presence.
Assure me today, Father, of Your presence when I feel cut off from You. You will never leave me alone.
