The promise of God's presence is the most fundamental assurance I have in my faith. What does this do for my sense of security in life? It give me courage to face any situation that I find in my life journey. It has given me enough hope to let things happen and trust God for the outcome even though I cannot see that outcome at the moment. As I look back on experiences I have had in the past, I find myself surprised at how I responded at the time. I often think, "I would not respond that way now," but I know that is not true because it was God's presence in my life that helped me then just as I would anticipate God's presence to make that difference now as well. As I need the help, I receive it, not before and not later, but right at the time I need it. God's presence through His Holy Spirit provides the peace and courage necessary for every situation.
