The Presence of God by Lane Jordan Burday
So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand (Isaiah 41:10).
Nothing on earth is as important as being in the Presence of God. In fact, the Bible says that Hell is the absence of God! But many of us don’t realize how important it is to focus our lives, minds, and souls on God. He must be the most important person in your life, above everything you have and everyone in your life, because God is our Creator and has a purpose for each one of His children.
For this reason, we need to talk to God daily in prayer, read His Word in the Bible, and fellowship with other believers. Only by reaching out to God will we be able to cultivate our relationship with Him and experience His full Presence with us. And though He is always with us, we need to take that daily step of being in fellowship with Him.
I’m sure you can find solace in God’s comforting presence in moments of distress or uncertainty. When we feel overwhelmed, it’s easy to forget that we are never alone. God promises to be with us, providing a refuge in times of trouble. This presence offers us peace and reassurance, reminding us that we can lean on Him when life gets tough.
I personally love that God will direct my steps and help me find my purpose in life!
Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight (Proverbs 3:5-6).
I pray that you will hunger for God so much that you want to have that closeness, that entire Presence of Him in your life. Jesus explained it this way: “Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled” (Mathew 5:6).
Nothing will give us as much joy, love, and peace as being with our Lord daily.
