He is always with me.

Psalm 46:1
God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble.

The real question is what do we consider to be our trouble? We may think we are in trouble but relatively, it might not be so much trouble. Or what we might think as trouble could be keeping you from real trouble.

I remember one day in the seventies when my mom was in the Dominican Republic. She was coming home but missed her plane. I was troubled because I missed her but she told me that she would be home the next day. She was so late she didn't even go to the airport.

Little did I know that her flight was doomed minutes later. The plane crash landed in the shark infested ocean and there were no survivors.

Today, I write this frustated because God won't help me with my trouble! You see, I have the flu and for the last three days, I've felt miserable.

Then I think, what if he is keeping me from much bigger trouble. Maybe I don't need to be on the road today!

So this is a good time to remember, he is always with me, no mater what!

Good Word. Like anything else sometimes even the flu has to run it's course. That may sound like it is not a Faith filled statement yet as you press in you a going to get healed. If healing does not come in the natural course of the flu then it may be the symtoms of an even greater need[sickness] that will allow you to put an even greater demand on the Garment of Jesus. Have you been doing any air travel in the past week, confined air carries all kinds of pollutants.
