4002 Untouchable, But Is He?

Sometimes, it's easy to feel like God is distant; far above us, unreachable, untouchable, but is He? When life spirals into chaos and busyness, our minds trick us into thinking God has turned away or forgotten us. But what if that's not true? What if God's presence is not only closer than we imagine, but unwavering and constant, always and forever? In Matthew 28:20, it says, "Behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age."

And that means even when life gets busy, messy, or downright frightening, His presence does not vanish. Look at the story of Simon Peter and the fishermen caught in a storm (Matthew 14:22-33). The storm raged, the waves crashed, and fear gripped their hearts. Into the chaos, Jesus approached—walking on water, defying the very forces that threatened to consume them. Matthew 14:28-33 28 "Lord, if it's you," Peter replied, "tell me to come to you on the water." 29 "Come," he said. Then Peter got down out of the boat, walked on the water and came toward Jesus. 30 But when he saw the wind, he was afraid and, beginning to sink, cried out, "Lord, save me!" 31 Immediately Jesus reached out his hand and caught him. "You of little faith," he said, "why did you doubt?" 32 And when they climbed into the boat, the wind died down. 33 Then those who were in the boat worshiped him, saying, "Truly you are the Son of God." Peter stepped out of the boat, walking toward Jesus, but when doubt crept in, he began to sink. Jesus reached out and caught him immediately. This is a beautiful and vivid picture of how God is with us in the storms of life. When fear threatens, when we feel like we're sinking under pressure, Jesus is there—not distant or untouchable—but right beside us, ready to catch us if we call out. The K.I.S.S. ~ God is with us! Now, you might think that this only happens in the Bible. That's not true.  God's nearness isn't dependent on how much we know or even how strong our faith is. It's about who He is. We are His, and He has made Himself touchable in ways we often overlook. 1 Corinthians 6:19-20 says, "When Jesus rose from the grave, He didn't vanish into the heavens only to be seen from afar. Instead, He gave us the Holy Spirit, who resides within us. Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your bodies." That means God's presence is not just around us; it's in us. You are never alone, even when your circumstances shout otherwise. God sees you—His child, His creation—and that makes you His priority always. So call out to Him. Cry out to Him. Reach out with your heart and know that God is more touchable than you can imagine. He is with you in every storm, every trial, and every triumph. Untouchable? No. He is unshakeably near—ready to hold you, steady you, and empower you through life's journey. God's got you always! "Be present. Be incredible. Be YOU!!!"   #SweetSpirit #CreateYourNow #SoulfulSunday 🔔 Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women?
