We live in a broken world. A world with disease, senseless murder (even of children!!), & broken hearts. Where was God when the bombs exploded at the Boston Marathon, or when my friend fell from a waterfall in front of his wife & daughter? Where was God when my girlfriend became a widow at 38? When my own body is constantly working against me as I fight MS? Where is HE when my sister searches for true love or when my friend buried his baby boy?? I want to believe with my whole heart, but sometimes doubt creeps in and I am left with so many questions... WHY WHY WHY???
This is what I know. God promises He is with us. He promises to go before us and prepare a way for us. EVEN if our path is right smack on a course of tragedy, disease, & heartache. Still, God's plan's are always good. His plans reveal His power and love for us. EVERY TIME. It usually takes time and a hindsight to see the big picture of His perfect Plan. But His Word promises us, time and time again that He is, was and will be there.
" It is the Lord who goes before you. He will be with you; he will not fail you or forsake you. Do not fear or be dismayed.”- Deut 31:8
"I will go before you
and level the mountains,
I will break in pieces the doors of bronze
and cut through the bars of iron..." -Is 45:2

“Be strong. Take courage. Don’t be intimidated. Don’t give them a second thought because God, your God, is striding ahead of you. He’s right there with you. He won’t let you down; he won’t leave you.” Deut 31:6
Psalm 139:5 ..."you hem me in, behind and before, and lay your hand upon me" One meaning of hem is "to surround or enclose somebody or something" He is ALWAYS. THERE.
