Are You Conscious Of God’s Presence?

TODAY’S VERSE
And so I walk in the Lord’s presence as I live here on earth!
Psalms 116:9 (NLT)

TODAY’S THOUGHT
I can only think of one thing greater than living in God’s presence. That is being “aware” that I am living in His presence! Have you ever been with someone, and they acted as if you were not even there? You were with them, but they were not with you. How often do we go through the day as if God did not exist? Full of self-sufficiency, we make our plans and schedules and live out our days without a conscious need for His presence. Oh, the occasional prayer, perhaps a devotional reading, and even Christian music on the radio, but really walking in His presence? How often, when we pray, we say, “Lord, we come into your presence” as if His presence was somewhere outside of our realm of daily existence? Perhaps we really meant, “Lord, I am making a deliberate choice to focus on your presence.” But how much better if we stay focused on God and converse with Him? Walking in His presence means He is with us, and we know it. It means we respond to Him all the time. Today, stop and realize He is with you right now. You are in His presence, and He desires to have a relationship with you throughout the day.

TODAY’S PRAYER
Dear Father, help me to realize that I am always in Your presence. Help me, through the power of the Holy Spirit, commune with You and fellowship with You throughout this day. In Jesus’ name, I pray.
AMEN

He Lives

TODAY’S VERSE
The Lord lives! Praise to my Rock! May the God of my salvation be exalted!
Psalms 18:46 (NLT)

TODAY’S THOUGHT
What an excellent proclamation. What a felt reality. I can hear David proclaiming, “The Lord Lives!” And why not? He had spent His whole life trusting God. He trusted God when a bear and wild animals attacked him as a shepherd. He trusted God when he slew Goliath. He trusted God when being pursued by Saul. God delivered from them all, so he starts this Psalm by saying, “I love you, Lord!” He then gives the reason for his exuberance. He writes, “The Lord is my rock, my fortress, and my Savior; my God is my rock, in whom I find protection. He is my shield, the power that saves me, and my place of safety.” His proclamation was similar to Peter’s revelation when Jesus asked Peter, “What about you? Who do you say I am?” Peter answered Jesus, saying, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.” Our God is alive. Christ rose from the dead. Let it stir your soul! A famous hymn says it best, “I serve a risen Savior; He’s in the world today. I know that He is risen no matter what man may say. I see His hand of mercy, I hear His voice of cheer, And just the time I need Him, He’s always near. He lives! He lives! Christ Jesus lives today! He walks with me and talks with me along life’s narrow way. He lives! He lives! Salvation to impart! You ask me how I know He lives? He lives within my heart!” Today, rejoice that the Lord lives!

TODAY’S PRAYER
Dear Jesus, how I praise You for Your resurrection. How I praise You that You are alive in my life. Thank You that I can put all my trust in You. I love You, my Lord and my Savior.
AMEN
