God Is Here


David fled from Saul, in 1 Samuel 21, taking nothing with him.  He stopped to ask the priest for food and a spear.  The priest gave him Holy bread and the spear that David won from Goliath. 

The Holy bread, or the bread of the Presence (verse 6), was exactly what David needed at that time.  It reminded David that even during that time of uncertainty, God was there with him.  Even when David’s world was turned upside down, God was present.

This is the importance of Holy Communion in our lives today.  It reminds us that God is here.  In the midst of all that is crazy in our lives, God is here.  Even when we don’t know where to turn or who to turn to, God is here.  Even when we don’t even recognize God’s presence among us, God is here.

Ever present God, I am thankful that you are here with me always.  Thank you for Holy Communion, which reminds me of your presence.  Will you continue to show me Yourself in my daily life?  Amen.
