In His Presence

Each year I drive back to this spot along the river.

The menu has not changed in the 40 plus years since I have worked there as a waitress.

In a world that is always changing, this brings me comfort.

I sit across from a friend and have my favorite meal, dipping my fries in the homemade tartar sauce.

Cars pack the parking lot and all of the picnic tables are filled.

Families having conversations.

A group of friends taking pictures together by the river bank.

There is joy in watching people pause and enjoy His creation.

And just like this place has not changed in all this time, there is another place that I can go to that brings me even more comfort.

I don’t need to drive 2 hours to get there and it is available 24 hours a day.

It is in His presence.

This is where I find my peace.

In a world that is always changing, spending time with the One who never changes will bring you comfort like nothing else can.

Will you pause today to spend time with Him?

“Whenever my busy thoughts were out of control, the soothing comfort of Your presence calmed me down and overwhelmed me with delight.”
‭‭Psalms‬ ‭94‬:‭19‬ ‭TPT‬‬
