When was the last time you felt God’s presence in your life? Last week’s post explained how we are to draw near to God, then He will draw near to us. So, if you and I want to feel God’s presence, then we need to draw near to Him in worship with all our hearts. Remember, sin separates you from His presence, so ask God to search your heart and mind for any sin issues you may need to repent of. I worship God for his mercy and grace concerning my propensity to sin. Do you desire to please God and be with Him everyday? If not, then why would you want to go to heaven?
Psalm 73:25-28 tell us, “Whom have I in heaven but you? And there is nothing on earth that I desire besides you.
26My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.
27For behold, those who are far from you shall perish; you put an end to everyone who is unfaithful to you.
28But for me it is good to be near God; I have made the Lord GOD my refuge, that I may tell of all your works.”
Reread verse 27. Let’s resolve to be faithful to God because it is good to be near Him and to make Him our refuge. I pray that as you focus on each day of worship, you will find yourself in the presence of God every day.
