It seems that as I journey on my spiritual pathway, I often find that the obstacles and deterrents are removed and the road is made clear, literally opening up before me as I move forward.

I noticed this the other day as I was driving. Everything seemed to be going my way……traffic lights, parking spots, seemingly long left turn lights, the flow of the day was seemless.

I was thinking, “GOD, you are really with me today on this ride”.

It was then that I had the “Ah Ha!” moment.

I realized that it’s not that GOD was with me, he always is. ALWAYS, ALWAYS, ALWAYS.

It was that I was riding with HIM!

I don’t always include him in my ride. I often choose to travel without inviting him along.

He did after all give free will, the choice of: “Do you want me or not?”

This was a stark reminder to me to request his presence to be with me, every moment, every day, every opportunity, every morning, every night, all the time.

If GOD is with me. who can be against me? (Romans 8:31, Psalms 118:6)
