GOD IS FULLY PRESENT

"The LORD is near to all who call upon Him, to all who call upon Him in truth." PSALM 145:18

On Christmas Eve, 1968, Frank Borman, James Lovell, and William Anders, while orbiting the moon in Apollo 8, were so aware of the Presence of God in space that they publicly read the first ten verses of Genesis to the listening world thousands of miles away. When James B. Irwin, an astronaut with Apollo 15, actually walked on the surface of the moon, he said he looked out into the inky blackness, saw our planet looking like a blue marble suspended in space, and was overwhelmed with the conscious awareness that God was present on the surface of the moon! And God was! And God is! He is not bound by space.

Whom are you praying for who is separated from you? A child? A spouse? What comforting encouragement to know that God is not only fully present with you but also with those from whom you are separated.

(Anne Graham Lotz, God’s Story)
