Always is a very Long Time

Matthew 28:20(b) .....And remember, I am with you always to the end of the age.

     Back in the Sixties Social Media was the Readers Digest, the Saturday Evening Post, and Life Magazine.  You learned current events, art, science, a little bit of politics and Life in These United States.
     I vividly remember one "joke" Readers Digest published regarding an old farmer and his wife riding down the road in their pickup.  They got behind a young couple in a convertible who were sitting so close to each other an ant couldn't squeeze between them.  The young man had one arm draped over the steering wheel and the other draped over his lady-friend (yes, that's what we called them).
     As the farmer and his wife drove along behind them the farmers wife turned to him and said, "remember when we used to sit like that?"  The farmer, being a man of few words, responded, "Yep."  Then after a moment of silence the wife asked, "well, why don't we sit like that anymore?".  With due thought and consideration the farmer responded, "Well, I ain't moved."
     Think about it.

     There are times when I feel God is like that farmer - he's always there, even unto the end of the age.  And, when there's separation it's not because God has moved from us - it's because we've strayed from God.
     Think about it.
