God is ever present with you

“Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go.” (Josh. 1:9)

As I was driving along listening to the news on the radio, the announcer suddenly gasped, and then there was silence. When his voice returned, he said, “My apologies for the moment of silence. I was startled because a sparrow hit the window near where I’m sitting and fell to the ground. What startled me was that I remembered a Bible verse that said, ‘God sees when a sparrow falls’, and I was startled to think that I was so close to where God was looking.”

The announcer didn’t understand that the reason God sees when a sparrow falls is because he sees everything all the time, even when a sparrow falls (see Matt. 10:29).

He is ever present!

Because God is spirit and we can’t physically see Him, it’s easy to forget He is everywhere all the time and sees all things, and He even sees us constantly.  

“Then Jacob awoke from his sleep and said, “Surely the Lord is in this place, and I did not know it.” (Gen. 28:16)
