   Live in His Presence

   Bill — God was; is; and always will be in control — keep your faith in Him very strong!

   God’s ways are much higher than ours, Isaiah 55:9For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts. - King James Version
   and His true purpose cannot be understood without a heart dedicated to glorifying Him in worship.

   We are called to a life of worship; and though we use the phrase “enter His sanctuary,” I pray it comes as no surprise that the presence of God is not confined within the walls of our church buildings.

   We do not call Him “down” to join us as we sing our songs, and He is not any closer because of the outward expression of our worship.

   Matthew 28:20Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen. - King James Version

   One of the last promises Jesus made was though He was returning to the Father, He would always remain with us - to the very end — the presence of God is with us right now!

   He is as near in our most decorated centers of worship as He is when we are on the bus or alone in our car; “never will I leave you” (Hebrews 13:5).

   One of the great blessings most believers miss today is that our Heavenly Father is much closer than we realize: Psalm 139:8-10

   He is VERY near, and His great desire is that we would join Him in an intimate and worshipful fellowship in whatever circumstances our day may bring.

   We fellowship with our Creator by continually communing with Him, whether in deep prayer or simple conversation, throughout the day. We must present EVERY thought, word, and deed at His feet as our absolute best offering of love.

   When impure thoughts or our deceitful tongue pulls us away, we should immediately turn them away, ask His forgiveness, and return to His presence. As impossible as this may seem, this is the worship God desires - and the worship He deserves. We ought to adopt this as our lifestyle today and continue until He takes us home.

   His presence is available to every believer! Some jobs or home environments may pose a challenge, but He has promised to be with those who desire to walk with Him, regardless of the circumstances.
