In yesterday’s Bible study group, we discussed another chapter of Tozer’s “The Pursuit of God“. It was on God’s omnipresence. Among other things, we read Psalm 139:7-10 and were then encouraged to rewrite the verses with those places where we need to be reminded of God’s presence. Here is my personalized version:
When I am wasting time with red tape,
you are there.When I feel powerless in the face of corruption,
you are there.When I am overwhelmed with things to do,
you are there.When I am exhausted from the noise around me,
you are there.When I am unable to meet others’ expectations and accomplish my own goals,
you are there.When I feel lost and uncertain about the next steps,
you are there.Even there you are IMMANUEL – God with me,
surrounding me with your love,
and delighting over me.
Rewriting these verses was very helpful for me and a wonderful reminder of God’s presence.
