God’s Presence!
"My Presence will go with you,
and I will give you rest."
Exodus 33: 14
During a period of revival, Jonathan Edwards wrote, “After
retiring to rest and sleeping a little while, I awoke and had
a very lively consciousness of God’s being near me. I lay
awake most of the night, with a constant delightful
sense
of God’s great love and infinite condescension, and with
a continual view of God as near, and as my God.”
We need a revival of the sense of God’s presence!
In Genesis, Joseph was conscious of God in every
experience he had and in everything he
did.
He made God central to every part of his life
and gave credit to God for all that happened.
We may not have a constant emotional sense of God’s
nearness, but He is near, nonetheless. He goes with us.
God walks with us through each
day and is involved in
our lives too.
As you navigate today, whisper prayers for wisdom.
Ask God to guide every step and direct every decision.
Practice His presence, and even when you awaken at
night, remember how near He is to you.
"The glory of God seemed to overcome me
and swallow me up, and every conceivable
suffering…seemed to shrink to nothing
before it."
Jonathan Edwards
