Number Six

Day’s end was fast approaching. Reflecting upon my day’s activities, I sought solace inside my silent car. Nothing disturbed me; the quiet invigorated my soul. As I pondered the day, I was overcome with thoughts on a much larger scale. Throughout the day, all the following were taking place instantaneously:

·        While some people struggled with health issues, others welcomed new life.

·        While some labored to make an income, others lined food banks for handouts.

·        While some enjoyed retirement, others were disabled and confined to nursing homes.

·        While some were in school learning about life, others were in the streets seeking life.

·        While some prepared for tonight’s togetherness with family or friends, others faced loneliness in a shelter or cardboard box.

·        While some fought physically at war, others battled enemies within.

Even though many more comparisons could be added, one conclusion kept repeating itself. No matter the circumstance, the Father of all creation, the One who designed and planned each person for a purpose, is present in every situation. His omnipresence makes Him available 24/7.

As Psalm 33:13-15 states:  “The LORD looks from heaven; He sees all the sons of men. From the place of His dwelling He looks on all the inhabitants of the earth; He fashions their hearts individually; He considers all their works.”

Only God, our Father, has the power to fulfill our every need. If only we would let Him.
