Part 4 in our "Deeper Toward God" Series

This is the question that we must ask ourselves: How can we faithfully live in our current circumstance? We can find faith in any circumstance. We can lead by hope whatever we may face. We may do God’s work in whatever circumstance we find ourselves in.

When we convince ourselves that God is right beside us all the time, we convince ourselves that we have consistent and easy access to God. Many of us Christians put God in a box far way and believe that we need prophets or special mediums to have any connection to God at all. But this is thankfully not the case. Each and every one of us has access to God. God is right beside us. There is a country song by Justin Moore: “If Heaven wasn’t so far away, I’d pack up the kids and go for the day, introduce them to their grandpa; watch them laugh at the way he talks…” That would be nice if we could do that. Well, we may not be able to do that for our family members, but we can do that with God. God is not so far away. For that we can be thankful. We can faithfully live in our current circumstance, first, by seeking the welfare of others, and second, by having confidence in our consistent access to God! Knowing that we have access to God, can, in turn, help us to turn to God more so that we can seek and serve the welfare of others even more efficiently.

To faithfully live in our current circumstance, we need to faithfully recognize where the source of our strength comes from.
