We often read, “We need to ask God “to show up.” Quite frankly there is not need for any Follower of Christ to ask the all present God living in the life of each of His Followers, “God, when are you going to show up?” Truly, there is no need in this lack of understanding of who our God really is. 

I have written this before, but this lack of faith or understanding seems to be demonstrated over and over again by people who should not. The Bible does not speak of His absence or lack of presence in any manner and to ask this is to deny our God who is omni everything. WE sing songs of praise concerning this very fact and Jesus told His disciples moments before His ascension, “I will always be with you.” 

If this old preacher asks this out of frustration, can we not imagine what our Savior who told His disciples, “I am the way, the truth and the life…” must feel? Just a thought.

God is always present…always. Paul writes this, “Don’t you know that your body is a sanctuary of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God? You are not your own, for you were bought at a price. Therefore glorify God in your body.” 1 Corinthians 6:19-20 HCSB. And before Jesus left the earth, yet in His physical, but risen body, He said to His disciples, “Then Jesus came near and said to them, “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. Go, therefore, and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe everything I have commanded you. And remember, I am with you always, to the end of the age.” Matthew 28:18-20. He is present everywhere, all of the time living with and in every Believer. Trust Him, trust His presence. In this alone no Believer needs to ask Him to ‘show up.’ 

Jesus is Lord.
