bluewater2KNOWING HIS PRESENCE

Do not try to short-circuit God's plans for your discipleship. and spiritual maturity here. If you and I were already prepared for heaven in the moment of our conversion, God would have taken us home instantly! We must remember that God exists in Himself. His holy nature is such that we cannot comprehend Him with our minds. He is of a substance not shared by any other being. Hence, God can be known only as He reveals Himself! I have found this to be a fact: every redeemed human being needs the humility of spirit that can only be brought about by the manifest Presence of God. This mysterious yet gracious Presence is the air of life eternal. It is the music of existence, the poetry of the Christian life. It is the beauty and wonder of being one of Christ's own-a sinner born again, regenerated, created anew to bring glory to God! To live surrounded by this sense of God is not only beautiful and desirable, but it is imperative!

Verse

Lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Matthew 28:20

Thought

Every redeemed human being needs the humility of spirit that can only be brought about by the manifest Presence of God.

Prayer

Lord, I pray you will give me the strength to live out my Christianity to its fullest extent.
