To them God chose to make known how great among the Gentiles are the riches of the glory of this mystery, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory. Colossians 1:27

“…And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.” Matthew 28:20
How much more engaged would you be if you knew you were being watched by important people? People who could advance your career?
If you were singing in a night club knowing talent scouts were in the audience?
While on the football field and you knew there were scouts in the stands watching you?
No matter what field of endeavor, what if your hero and mentor was next to you rooting you on? What difference would that make in your performance?
Well, we are assured God is always with us. He is observing you. Not to strike you down. Not to punish you. Not to destroy you. Instead, HE is waiting for you to ask his advice. He is wondering how long before you ask HIM to assist you in the matter. In fact, HE probably is even nudging you now to look HIS way.
Life changes when HE knows you know HE is with you and for you. When this realization strikes us, the confidence level increases. You learn the holy swagger walk. Yes, that humble and assertiveness approach toward life. You know you are in good hands. You know HE is holding you in HIS GRIP. You are so empty of yourself that HIS presence goes before you.
HE is living HIS life in you and through you. You begin to reflect HIS character. The more you step aside and allow HIM to lead you around the dance floor of life, the more you experience HIM. HIS peace and assurance comes upon you that all things will work out in the end.
You no longer need to lift yourself up by your bootstraps. You have learned the art of denying yourself for HIS glory. You have discovered the spiritual life HE taught on the sermon on the mount. You no longer have to act as if you believe. You believe and allow HIM to act on your behalf through you. The goodness of Christ comes alive because HE is in you and with you. You have allowed HIM to lead your kingdom.
Yes, God is with us. But is HE only an observer or an active participant in your life? That is the question we all have to answer too.
