GOD’S PRESENCE
“Do you not know that you are God’s temple and that God’s Spirit dwells in you?”
(1 Corinthians 3:16)
Are you still in the habit of looking up into the high heavens, calling on God to come down and answer you, rather than looking inward where He already dwells within your heart?
Did Christ not say, “I will be with you till the end of time”—your time, the span of your earthly journey?
And did He not also say, “Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in and dwell with him, and he with Me”?
God’s presence is not distant. It is not locked away in the wishful imagination of a faraway deity, sitting in some unreachable heaven. His presence is here and now—alive, intimate, and constant.
He is not a God who visits occasionally but One who abides eternally. He breathes through your stillness, speaks through your conscience, and shines through the peace that dwells in your heart.
When you awaken to this awareness, prayer ceases to be a shout into the clouds and becomes a conversation within. Worship ceases to be a ritual and becomes a relationship.
To live in God’s presence is to live consciously aware that He is within you, around you, and working through you. Heaven is not a place to reach after death but a state of divine union to experience now.
Food for Thought: The God you seek is not afar off. He is closer than the air you breathe. The more you quiet the noise within, the louder His presence becomes.
