Where is God when I need him most?

Driving to work this morning, my mind kept playing that old worn out question..."Where is God when I need him most?"
Almost instantly I got the answer. It was as clear as a tap on the shoulder..."Right where you left me." That's when it clicked.
As I came to this "revelation", I started thinking (scary I know) about children and lost items. The child running through the house screaming, "Mom, where's my shoes, jacket, crayons, etc...". And the response usually comes, "well, where did you leave it last?" It's the same with God.

It's the sheep that stray, not the Sheppard. He's right there, with His ever watchful eye--the same place He's been since the beginning of time.

"Where did you go, God?"---God's not lost, we are. He's never more than a prayer away. He is the calm in the midst of our chaotic lives. You can find him every where you look. No searching in the abyss of the couch cushions, in the depths of a dark closet. He's not like the remote that's always missing. And because He's always right there, readily available to us, we don't have to be the sock with the missing mate. When we accept God, we always come out of the dryer of life with both halves!!!!

If you are searching for God this morning, you don't have to look far, just where you last left Him. I promise He'll still be there, waiting...patiently, with arms open wide, ready to welcome you HOME!!!!!
