GOD is in this place—truly. And I didn’t even know it! (Gen ‭28:16)

My wife has an expression – “A dirty Bible, is a dirt life…”

The older I get the more I realise that this statement can have many meanings. For example, a dirty life (like a dirty windscreen), needs cleaning so that we can ‘safely’ see our way forward.

Right now, plagued by an invisible enemy, pretty much most of the world is held in a form of stasis as we all self-isolate during a global lockdown.

Yet life – like a young shoot pushing its way out through concrete, continues to thrive. We too, bereft of direction, look for a way out of this mess – so much so that like the Patriarch Jacob, we can miss the awesome fact that the very One we’re praying to in order to ‘get us out of here,’ is actually here – IN this place ‘with us.’

So … how different would your thoughts be would you know that GOD isn’t reaching down towards you to pull you out, but rather sitting alongside you in the storm with his head on a pillow, seemingly calm and asleep? ❤️
