God is anywhere.

The Lord is near to all who call upon Him. (Psalm 145:18)

When I was 7 years old, my grandfather was caretaker of a wooded estate. One fall evening I took my toy gun, called for my dog Pal, and headed...bravely into the woods. Soon, though, it began to get dark and I panicked. "Granpa!" I shouted. "I'm right here," he said calmly, only a few yards away. He had seen me go into the woods and had followed me to make sure I was okay. Talk about being relieved!

As followers of Christ, we sometimes venture into unfamiliar territory. We try new things [or]...take on responsibilities...that are bigger than we've ever attempted before. It can get pretty scary. But wherever we go, God is there.
