The God Who Is Never Absent

 Starting today, devotions are from my book “Steadfast in the Storm.”

The God Who Is Never Absent

Scripture:

“The LORD has established His throne in the heavens, and His kingdom rules over all.” — Psalm 103:19

Puritan Quote:

“There is no such thing as chance in the world; everything is managed by the providence of God.” — John Flavel

Personal Reflection

In uncertain times, it can feel as though the world is unraveling without direction. Yet Chapter 1 reminds us that God is not distant or disengaged. He governs every detail with perfect wisdom. There is never a moment where God steps off His throne. The same God who governs nations also governs the hidden details of my life.

Contemplation

What circumstances right now tempt me to believe God is absent instead of active?

Prayer

Lord, remind my heart today that You are not passive or distant. Help me rest in the truth that You reign over every detail of my life, even the ones I do not understand. Amen.

Application

Consciously surrender one specific worry to God today and say aloud,
“God rules over this.”
