Where is the Lord?

Tyler's gone again and I miss him SO much! Have you ever wondered, "where is the Lord?" Have you ever gone through a season of change when it seemed you begin to question everything? I have known the Lord for so many years and I know that I know He is God and He is with me, but entering this season of my life with its pain and loss is the hardest thing I've ever done. Don't get me wrong, having Tyler home for 11 days was glorious! But, driving him to the airport last Tuesday morning at 5 am and saying goodbye again just drove that knife right back into my heart wounding it as deep as it did last March.

I was so low earlier this week and the enemy knew it. And, you know, he always comes in for the kill...at the most opportune times. It seemed I was sinking lower and lower; and as much as I wanted to rise up...I couldn't. Ever been there? I found myself crying out to the Lord, asking, where are You? And guess what? After some time (it seemed a very long time)...He opened my eyes to see Him. Glory to You, Lord. I need Him so much! I absolutely would not make it without the Lord. And neither would you! Psalm 138, verse 3 came to me as the Lord was raising me up and I read, "in the day when I called, You answered me; and You strengthened me with strength in my inner self." (AMP) Without THAT, I wouldn't make it! Now tomorrow and the next day and the next, I will need it again. So will you! We must go to our heavenly Father and rely upon Him for every breath. He will not fail us! Everything else will, but He will not!

Call upon Him in your day of trouble and trust Him to fill your emptyness right now. He promises when we do, He will show us great and mighty things we wouldn't know otherwise (Jer. 33:3).

May your week be filled with new revelation of Who God is in your life! He "IS" near.
