Even There?
This past Sunday, I was honored to preach at Hope Anthem in Ottawa for Pastors Cameron and Kelsey Presson. They asked me to choose any Psalm for their summer series and, as I prayed, I kept coming back to Psalm 139.
Two words from verse ten stood out to me—even there. "Even there your hand will guide me, and your strength will support me." (Psalm 139:10 NLT)
You see, there are places where I expect to meet God. I look for Him in worship services, during prayer times, and at the altar.
But what about those places I didn't anticipate? The doctor's office. The funeral home. The hard conversation. Or the seasons I never expected? Seasons of uncertain footing. Unanswered questions. Spiritual drought.
God's presence does not depend on how we feel. His faithfulness is not measured by our emotions. God, who knows everything, knows you. The God who is always present is with you. And what you can't see clearly, He sees completely.
So wherever you are today, remember these two words: Even there.
-
Even there, God is with you.
Even there, He will guide you.
Even there, His strength will support you.
You might not have chosen to be there.
You might not understand how you ended up there.
You might not know how long you'll stay there.
But even there, God has not left you.
Too often, we judge God’s presence by our emotions. When we feel close to Him, we think He is near. When we don't, we wonder if He has gone. But David never says, "I always feel You." He just says, "You are there."

Pastors, we want to personally invite you to join your adults over 50 and be part of something special at the Senior Adult Conference in Branson, September 21–23, 2026.
Your attendance will mean so much to those in your church. By simply being there, you show appreciation for their faithful service, invest in their lives, and encourage them through your support. Your presence speaks volumes.
This year’s theme, “Renewed Day by Day” (II Corinthians 4:16), is a powerful reminder that no matter the season of life, God is still at work—strengthening, refreshing, and renewing us from the inside out. What a promise to stand on!
