Rare

Preamble

Welcome to the 8th of this series.

Lets ride in…

This word means hardly found.

Any rare thing is equated to something of value.

Rare signifies a special sense of worth.

There exist many rare things and depending on available possibilities, you can access them.

When it is rare, you cannot replace it easily (that is if you can)

Recently, I searched for certain beauty products which I had bought months earlier and I was not finding the anymore, not even in the shop I had bought them from.

I happen to always buy unique products which are rarely available and they end up being perfect for my needs. Whenever, I almost run out of them I prepare my heart to do a serious search and sometimes I am unable to get a replacement.

As I went from store to store and shopping mall to another, I wondered how interesting it was not to find a single item in a store filled with other products.

The attempts of the store owners to make me choose a different brand failed, I had come to trust the ones I was looking for and was not eager for a replacement.

While meditating on these scenarious, I thought of God.

Emmanuel

How beautiful it is to have the almighty God as near as possible to us.

How beautiful it is to have God always with us.

It is a great priviledge to have God’s presence around us.

It is a great priviledge to call on God anytime, any day without excessive protocols.

God who is more precious than rarest items is easier to find than them.

I was unable to get some of the products I sought but I was able to talk to God in those moments.

It is very precious to be aware of God’s presence.

As King David, the psalmist said:

Psalms 139:7-10  Whither shall I go from thy spirit? or whither shall I flee from thy presence?
If I ascend up into heaven, thou art there: if I make my bed in hell, behold, thou art there.
If I take the wings of the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea;
Even there shall thy hand lead me, and thy right hand shall hold me. (KJV)

God is with us. A consciousness we should never lose.

Prayer

LORD, thank you for today. Thank you for the priviledge to have you near. Thank you for the opportunity to experience personal fellowship with you. Help me to be aware of your presence all the time. Help me to experience deeper fellowship with you. May I never lose sight of your presence in Jesus name I pray. Amen.
