The God Who Follows

December 30, 2007 · Print This Article

“The upright shall dwell in Your presence.”
Psalm 140:14 NKJV

Lazarus was three days dead in a sealed tomb when he heard a voice, lifted his head, and looked over his shoulder and saw Jesus standing. God had followed him into death.

Peter had denied his Lord and gone back to fishing when he heard his name and looked over his shoulder and saw Jesus cooking breakfast. God had followed him in spite of his failure.

God is the God who follows. I wonder…have you sensed him following you? We often miss him…But he comes.

Through the kindness of a stranger. The majesty of a sunset. The mystery of romance. Through the question of a child or the commitment of a spouse. Through a word well spoken or a touch well timed, have you sensed his presence?

The year 2007 was no lucky year for me. With the mistakes and failures that I have committed, a fear that I might not be able to pull thing through now hung in my head. Can I still redeem myself?

God can. And I know that He will. He will not leave me alone in the darkness of my tomb. He still moves stones.
