Break TrailSample

When you were a kid, did you ever get separated from your parents? Maybe it was in the grocery store while you were trying to find your favorite cereal. "Lost child on aisle six!!!" Maybe it was on a family vacation, or maybe you got lost at a theme park. So many times in life, we feel so distant from God that we begin to feel helpless, or lost. We look at our relationship with God through the lens of our fears, our failures, and our doubts. We see the messes we've made and think God wants nothing to do with us, that we've been left all alone. 

David, King of Israel, knew what it was like to mess up . . . a lot! We're not talking about little stuff like forgetting to feed the sheep. He made big mistakes with big consequences. There were times he felt he went too far and that God couldn't love someone like him. But, when he began to feel alone, he knew God would forgive him.

When everything around us feels like it's falling apart, do you know God is your hiding place?
