You’re Not Alone

As you travel on an Israel tour from Bethlehem to Moab, a mountainous strip of land in Jordan, you can imagine Ruth and Naomi traveling the same 50 miles of rugged and steep terrain. Although it is a short trip today, it would have taken Ruth and Naomi 7-10 days on foot.  They would have had many moments of convervation and moments of silence as they trekked across the region.

It reminds me of the type of friends that you don’t see very often but you know they would be there in a moments notice if you needed them. When you reunite the conversations can last for hours just like it might be months or years that there is silence. These type of friends remind you that you are never alone.

When Jesus gave the great commission He reminded His disciples of that very thing. Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,  and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.” (Matthew 28:18-20)

Jesus isn’t physically with us on our journey through life, but He is always with us through the presence of His Holy Spirit. Ready and willing to help in a moments notice. We are never alone.

What a tremendous comfort that passage gives us as we make our way through this life.

Be Intentional about remembering Jesus’ promise of His presence.
