PresenceGod God wants us to live in His presence. He gave His beloved Son to die for us in order to restore us to fellowship with Himself and to live in His presence. But do we really live in His presence in our daily lives?

What does it look like to live in God’s presence? If know we live in His presence we will live in . . .

LIGHT for He is the light and in Him is no darkness at all (1 John 1:5-9). This Scripture reminds us that if we live in the light we will have fellowship with one another. We live in harmony with our husband and our family. We do not hold grudges, bitterness, or unforgiveness. To live this way we must constantly confess any sin or any thing that grieves the presence of the Holy Spirit in our lives. And praise the Lord, God promises that the blood of Jesus Christ, His Son cleanses us from all sin.

LOVE for God is love. If He dwells in us and we dwell n Him we will live in love which will manifest through our eyes, our countenance, our hands, and our feet. It will fill our home.

TRUTH for God is truth (John 8:32). Let’s open our hearts and minds to the presence of God for in His presence all deception is exposed.

REST for God lives in rest (Matthew 11:29-30). What a beautiful revelation. If we live in God’s presence we live in rest. Nothing takes God by surprise. Nothing gets him tied up in knots. When you live in Him you live above the difficulties that try to pull you down.

JOY for God is our exceeding joy (Exodus 33:14-16; Psalm 16:1l; 43:4 and Jude 1:24). Worry and self-pity do not live in God’s presence.

HOLINESS without which no man will see the Lord (Hebrews 12:14). We cannot enjoy God’s presence if we allow sin in our lives. We must keep short accounts with God, allowing His Holy Spirit to search our hearts each day.

It is not enough for us to live daily in God’s presence. God wants our children to live in His presence. He wants our continuing generations to live in His presence. Claim Psalm 102: 28 (NEB) for your children: “Thy servants’ children shall continue, and their posterity shall be established IN THY PRESENCE.”

May your home be filled with the presence of God today.
