Walking in God's Presence

Psalm 89:14-18
Righteousness and justice are the foundation of your throne; love and faithfulness go before you. Blessed are those who have learned to acclaim you, who walk in the light of your presence, Lord. They rejoice in your name all day long; they celebrate your righteousness. For you are their glory and strength, and by your favor you exalt our horn. Indeed, our shield belongs to the Lord, our king to the Holy One of Israel.

Greetings, my Beloved!

I hope you are having a fabulous week! I know that I am. Summer is just around the corner, and I am enjoying the warmer weather, the bright blue skies, and the beautiful colors of the season. It makes me appreciate the beautiful world that our God has given to us. This morning during our devotion time, we spoke about God's presence. How cool would it have been to walk with God in the Garden of Eden! But we don't have to wait until we get to heaven to experience walking with God. We are surrounded by the light of His presence, and we can walk with Him now! Let us recognize God's presence around us and walk with Him today. Let us praise Him for the wonderful things that He has done in our lives. Recently, my husband had an injury at work with his back. The doctor at his work said that he has a slipping rib syndrome, where the rib slips out of its socket, and creates excruciating pain. There is no cure for this syndrome - it is very rare. But I know a God who can heal, so we prayed for him. He no longer feels the pain - Praise God! I know that God is right there just waiting to meet our every need. We just need to cry out to Him! Enter into His presence, and just wait and watch for God to move powerfully in your life. But seek first His Kingdom and Righteousness:
  
Matthew 6:33
But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.
  
Are the wants and desires that you have in your life within the will of the Father? Search your heart to see how your wants and desires will benefit the Kingdom. It's something to think about. Perhaps we need to change our perspective from the here and now, and gain an eternal perspective. You may wonder, why God hasn’t answered my prayer; perhaps you haven't gained the eternal perspective. Is it a timing thing? Perhaps God is waiting for the right time to grant you your desires. Or perhaps, He has answered, and it is just not the answer you wanted. Just recognize, God knows best - he knows what will work in your life, and your future. Just trust in Him, and He will direct your paths.

Proverbs 3:5-6
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.

I just know that God wants to do amazing things in your life. Just enjoy His presence, trust in Him, and everything will be just fine.
  
Worship with me, as we enter into His Presence!




 Blessings!
