Eternal Help

Psalm 46:2

God is our refuge and our strength, an ever-present help in distress.

If you’re like me you call on God almost automatically when confronted with trouble. I remember vividly the phone call from the hospital in the middle of the night several years ago with a voice telling me that my father was dying and that I needed to come immediately. I remember driving the short distance down the highway to the hospital invoking God’s name over and over to be with my dad. I was totally focused on the present moment…which seems to be the case whenever we are confronted by such a distressing situation. I had no doubt that God was indeed with my dad, my mom who was at his bedside…and me. God is always as keenly present to us…but we are not always as keenly present to God. It seems it takes these times of distress for us to fully awaken to the sacred now. Whether or not you are in distress…awaken…and be in the presence of the Divine Presence…right now. God is always right here with you.
