God is always with you

“I have set the Lord always before me. Because He is at my right hand, I will not be shaken.” Psalm 16:8
Have you set the Lord always before you? That is, are you conscious of Him being with you and being involved in everything that you do and everywhere you go? After all, He is. He hears every conversation that you have, He sees every TV programme and movie that you watch, He is with you on the sports field or out on the town, in the classroom and at the supermarket. If this makes you feel uncomfortable, you need to ask yourself why. Are there things that you do or watch, that you would be embarrassed to watch if Jesus was bodily sitting next to you?
The flip side of this coin, is that knowing God’s presence is with us at all times gives us great encouragement and strength. To be at someone’s right hand is to be the most important person in their life. Is Jesus your ‘right hand man’?
This verse should remind us to always be conscious of God always being with us – through the good times and the bad. With Him, we can face anything that life throws at us.
