EVERY MOMENT
Today's reading: Ecclesiastes 1:1-3:15, 1 Corinthians 12:1-26, Psalm 139:1-6

...Every moment you know where I am." Psalm 139:3 NLT

One of my favorite lessons with the little ones used to be when I talked about all the places God is.

I would list a variety of places, like church, home, school, the playground, et cetera, then ask them to begin naming places.

Oh, the fun they had in doing that.

A little hand would go up and then I would hear...

The moon!

The bottom of the ocean!

Walmart!

Grandma's house!

McDonald's!

Invariably we would have at least one saying through a giggle, Bathroom!

My favorite part was watching their eyes and I confirmed that, Yes, God was with us in each and every one of those places--even the bathroom!

As an adult, don't we also need the reminder?

Just think, for a moment, the places we tend to forget He is with us...

The doctor's office!

The funeral home!

The valley!

The living room as you watch TV!

The bed as we lie wide awake with fears!

The car!

The dark, quiet night!

Every moment He knows where we are--because He, too, is there.
