God Is In Our Midst

Have you ever experienced a closeness—an intimacy—so striking that you did not want it to come to an end?

God is present among us, and we can encounter his intimate presence in such a way that we will never want it to end.

The Prophet Jeremiah proclaimed, “You, O Lord, are in the midst of us, and we are called by your name; do not leave us.” (Jeremiah 14:9, ESV).

Jeremiah experienced God’s presence in the midst of his people. He experienced belonging to God and being called by God’s name. Jeremiah did not want God’s presence to end—he did not want God to ever leave his people.

We can experience this same intimacy with God. We can experience belonging. We can be called by his name. God is in our midst.

May we experience intimacy with God as we cry out with the Prophet Jeremiah, saying, “You, O Lord, are in the midst of us, and we are called by your name; do not leave us.” (Jeremiah 14:9, ESV).

In Christ alone, Robbie

A Collect For Evening: “Be present, O merciful God, and protect us through the hours of this night, so that we who are wearied by the changes and chances of this life may rest in your eternal changelessness; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.” (Book of Common Prayer, 2019).
