“Lift up my eyes to you O’ God, enthroned in heaven.” Psalm 123:1
Our God in heaven is not someone who lives in some faraway place. He is not someone with whom we must make a long-distance phone call in order to talk with him. Our Lord has made our relationship with Him, personal. It is a relationship that is deeply rooted in the truths of our Lord and with the beliefs that he is with us at all times. God sent His Holy Spirit to live within us. He is with us all of the time and not just when he feels it is convenient to him or when we feel it is convenient to us. He is there to listen and help us in a moment’s notice. We don’t have to stand in line to wait to talk with him. He is with us in the present and will be the future.
It is sometimes easy to feel that God is good for someone else’s problems, but our faith will sometimes not allow us to believe his presence in our own lives. We must build upon our faith every day to allow ourselves the benefits of our personal relationship with Christ Jesus. When we develop that personal relationship, we begin to feel satisfied, content and peaceful. Our personal relationship with Him helps us in our relationship with others. We begin depending upon Him and not on those around us. We must take our relationship with Jesus as personal because it is personal to Him. When we do, he becomes our only source in life, and we know that He is with us at home, at work, on vacation, at church, in the car and anywhere else we may be. We don’t have to wait for even a moment to talk with Him. He is as at our side and ready to help us immediately. He is our personal Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ! PRAISE THE LORD IN ALL SITUATIONS!
