Matthew 1:23 - "Look, the virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and they shall name him Emmanuel," which means, "God is with us."
Are you conscious of His presence every day? When you are conscious of His presence every day, you will experience a peace that gives you rest, joy inexpressible in your spirit and a power that nothing in this world can offer. In fact, you will begin to be peaceful like Jesus. You will speak and behave like Him. This is because you cannot be in God’s presence without His beauty, love, peace, power and glory rubbing onto you.
But how do you practice being conscious of God’s presence? You practice God’s presence when you see Him with you in whatever you do and wherever you are. And you can be sure that His presence will bring clarity of thought and wisdom to you. You will find yourself flowing with great and sound ideas. Consider this when you are going for an interview!
Perhaps you are going for surgery. Well, visualise the Lord in the operating theater with you, guiding the hands of the surgeons. Your worries will dissipate because nothing can go wrong in the Lord’s presence.
If you are in the middle of an argument, see the Lord standing within earshot. Your words will change and your body language will become more reconciliatory as you see Him right there with you, extending His grace to you. There will be a restraint which is not borne of willpower, but which comes supernaturally when you know that the One who loves you and watches over you is with you.
Thought for the day!
When you become conscious of God’s presence in your life, worries and fears will have no foothold in your mind. You will see Him maximizing your joy and fun, and guiding you in what you say and do!
