Someone’s in Your Shower

I had a party at my house recently.

Two of our friends decided to hide in the guest bathroom’s shower—planning to surprise anyone who tried to use the bathroom.

They were in there for 20 minutes or so.

They successfully freaked out at least one person.

Now, every time I use that bathroom, I have to check the shower first—to make sure nobody is there.

I know it will be empty, but I still have to look so I won’t be thinking about it while I’m “busy” in there.

There is someone in your shower though.

God is there.

He’s everywhere.

I know it’s kind of weird to think about God being in your shower… but He is.

In fact, there’s nowhere you can go that He won’t be.

We think of God being in our church services or in our times of personal Bible study and devotions.

He just doesn’t stay confined to those “boxes”.

He’s also in your shower and in your car and in your cubicle at work.

He’s with you at the gym and He goes to the movies with you.

He’s everywhere.

I think part of our growth—in terms of our relationship with God—is being aware of His presence outside the “church box” and “Bible study box’.

“I can never escape from your Spirit! I can never get away from your presence! If I dwell by the farthest oceans, even there your hand will guide me, and your strength will support me. I could ask the darkness to hide me and the light around me to become night—but even in the darkness I cannot hide from you. To you the night shines as bright as the day.” (Psalm 139.7, 9-12 NLT)

So… next time you’re in the shower, remember: Someone’s there with you.
