God in the Dangerous Places

If you look for God, don't bother seeking Him in the comfortable, the satisfied, the safe places. He resides in areas you would dare not go - in misery, in sadness, in loss of hope, poverty, sickness, even death -travel into these countries and you will feel His presence. Of course, most of us will do everything in our power to avoid these places. We will venture hundreds, even thousands of miles out of our way to stay clear of them. When, however, there is no other way-when we lose our comforts, when we are no longer satisfied, when the safe places have melted away and all hope is lost, suddenly we find we have a fellow traveler in Him. You see, He has traveled this lonely road as well. In fact, He walked it first. We might find it an honor that He actually finds us worthy enough to occasionally experience it for ourselves.
