WHERE IS GOD?

TUESDAY! Welcome to another of Gods' days! By His love, do we have this one, and any other to come. We are here by His Grace, and we can keep this home for a short time, or we can destroy it by leaving Him out. I choose to have Him beside me... read the part below,,, you may have already read it, but it needs repeating of "the where of God", and

JUST WHERE HE IS!

Do you know the legend of the Cherokee Indian youth's rite of Passage?

His father takes him into the forest, blindfolds him and leaves him alone.
He is required to sit on a stump the whole night and not remove the blindfold until the rays of the morning sun shine through it.He cannot cry out for help to anyone.
Once he survives the night, he is a MAN.
He cannot tell the other boys of this experience, because each lad must come into manhood on his own.
The boy is naturally terrified. He can hear all kinds of noises. Wild beasts must surely be all around him. Maybe even some human might do him harm. The wind blew the grass and earth, and shook his stump, but he sat as it would be the only way, he could become a man, never removing his blindfold!
Finally, after a horrific night the sun appeared and he removed his blindfold.
It was then that he discovered his father sitting on the stump next to him.
He had been at watch the entire night, protecting his son from harm.
Moral of the story:
Just because you can't see God,
Doesn't mean He is not there.
"For we walk by faith, not by sight."
