For Wednesday, March 6: Is his presence enough?

Our questions never hold up in the presence of God. His presence is the answer. John Schultz

Once I am really and truly in the presence of God all of my questions seem insignificant. Once I am in his presence I realize that all that matters is him. He is the answer to all that my mind is trying to figure out. If I could keep this realization at the forefront of my mind and heart things in life would be a bit easier I suspect. If I could be mindful of remaining in his presence then my days would look and feel a lot different. There is liberty in uttering the answer, and believing it, "I don't know but God does" and then letting God work the answer into my life. It is one thing to utter that, it is a whole other thing to be in his presence and believe that. Job is a great example of this. He had lots and lots of questions for God but he also knew that even though he wasn't privvy to the answers God had them. And so Job trusted in God's presence being enough for the answers to his questions. How about you? Can you, do you, trust God's presence to be enough?

The End of Affirmation 365

I've been thinking about it for over a month. Usually, when I'm in it I'm engaged. But this time? I started it indifferent and I've felt indifferent all along. I should have never started. Hindsight is 20/20 they say and they aren't wrong. So when I opened my eyes this morning it was clear. It's time. Time to quit this 365. This is the first 365 that I haven't posted several of the days, the first 365 that I wasn't super excited about, the first 365 that I've quit. I've changed my social media presence and interactions the past year so this is also the first 365 that hardly anyone has been interested in. Is it the topic or my decision to not be as accessible on social media? Or is it some other reason altogether? Well, regardless...I'm throwing in the towel on this one. I can't say if I'll ever do another 365 again. Time will tell and I will know if and when it's time.
