Who Do You Run To?

Tonight I saw a blog one of my friends posted on facebook; it was titled "Who do you run to?". It got me thinking about who I run to when things get tough... I know that I go straight to someone who will let me vent/complain/cry or whatever it is that I need to do. At the time, that may be a roommate, friend from school, friend from home, or one of my parents. But what happens when no one is in the dorm, my friends are in class, and I'm 4 hours from Clovis? Where can I run to then?

When things got difficult today and I wanted nothing more than to hop in my car and drive home, I found myself with nowhere to run and no one to run to. But that's just it... I didn't even have to run anywhere to find help, comfort, and someone to hold me when I needed it most. God never left, He is always there when I need Him most... So to answer the question simply, I don't run to anyone, I don't need to. He is here in my heart... no matter what state, city, or country I'm in He never leaves my side. He will go with me through the valleys and to the highest peaks of the mountains. God is still God in times of trouble... And even when it feels as if the world is crashing down around us, we can take comfort in knowing that He holds the plan for our lives in His hands. There may be pain, but God is SO much bigger than the sufferring we endure.

The Lord is my shepherd; I have all that I need. He lets me rest in green meadows; he leads me beside peaceful streams. He renews my strength. He guides me along right paths, bringing honor to his name. Even when I walk through the darkest valley, I will not be afraid, for you are close beside me. Your rod and your staff protect and comfort me. -Psalm 23:1-4

May angels lead you in Hercules♥
