Thou art with me....excerpt and my thoughts!

First of all I am not taking full credit for this post...the italics will be portions from the book Still Waters and Sky Scrapers.

The world is a scary place. Acts of terrorism make it seem even scarier. But we have a choice. We can withdraw and seek safety in isolation and submit to the fear and terror of what may be, or we can draw strength from the presence of the Shepherd-God and go out into that scary world. We can commit to creating an atmosphere of courage, trust and serenity, out of which the adventure of a new world emerge.

In life there are so many times that we want to fear life, and fear getting our hands dirty into what Christ has set before us....Fear that we will fail, FEAR of the person next to us, or even FEAR of the unknown...but one thing that I am beginning to Grasp is that PSALM 23 is not lying when it say "Thou art with me!"

No matter what we are going through, thoughts of ourselves, friends and relatives dying, loss of job, "YOUR" vote did not result in the president elect, relationship with someone just got cut off, or you are just doing amazing......whatever it is.....HE IS HERE, and is not going anywhere!!

Teens if you are reading this...I want you to know one thing, there is one constant in life, and that is the location of our GOD!!! HERE WITH US...every moment of every day....

So in closing I want you to do an exercise with me!! Close your eyes and out loud say the following:

THOU ART WITH ME
THOU ART WITH ME
THOU ART WITH ME

feel free to post your thoughts in forms of comments!!
