HIS PRESENCE


Good morning to you!
God is great all the time! He is awesome and majestic and wonderful! He is the great I AM! May He be praised and worshiped as we glory in His presence. 

He is with us always. He never leaves us or forsakes us. I feel God is leading me to share about that subject today. Do you ever feel lonely or all alone in your life walk? Well, maybe we have moved away from God. 

Years ago when I was about 18, I married a man that I shouldn't have. I was dumb, really dumb. I thought that I loved him but I was only starstruck, not that he was a star. And he was very far from it. But I did it anyway. When I left him (because of some abuse) I was feeling all alone until I realized that God was with me. I made many mistakes and I still do. 

Even though I was 13 at church camp when I was saved, I didn't live for Jesus. I was never taught and didn't know how. But regardless of how I lived and my mistakes, God was with me. I could feel His presence to the point I looked over my shoulder thinking someone was following me. But I knew it was God looking out for me. I did not realize the significance at that but now I am beginning to.

Isn't it amazing how God works? I want to share some words with you from the late Adrian Rogers. He was a great preacher we used to enjoy listening to on the radio. He passed away in 2005 but he is remembered as one of the great preachers of our time.

Where can I go from your Spirit? 
Where can I flee from your presence? 
If I go up to the heavens, you are there;
    if I make my bed in the depths, you are there.
Psalm 139:7-8 

Adrian Rogers said: "Where is God when I really need Him? Why is God so far away? God has never been far away from you. You may have been far away from Him, but God is never far away from you.

The Places of His Presence

God is omnipresent. Has it ever dawned on you that God never has to go anywhere? God is everywhere. Sometimes we get the idea that God is at church. One thing you need to know is that God is everywhere! There is no place that God is not. There is not a movement but He sees it, a motive but He knows it, nor a murmur but He hears it. Death, distance, or darkness cannot hide you from God. It’s a thrilling or a threatening thought depending on your relationship to God. But, what advantages are there to being in God’s presence?"
Taken from his message: The Glory of God's Presence by Adrian Rogers. 
I will bring you more of this great message tomorrow.
I will share the two parts of advantages the next two days with you. 

It is definitely something to study and think about.

Have a fantastic day!

Choosing Jesus Every Day: Don't Be Lazy

...to those who have been sanctified in Christ Jesus, saints by calling, with all who in every place call on the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, their Lord and ours: Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. 1 Corinthians 1:2b-3 Source: https://bible.knowing-jesus.com/topics/Greetings And to us all! I have not written here in 5 months. Forgive me! Life is so busy these days. My husband, Bert, and I thought retirement would be less busy and more, well retired. But that is okay! I believe we are following the path that God wants us on at this time of our lives and that He knows best. So, praise be to our God and Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit, for His great guidance! My devotion this morning was very interesting. Bert and I have had this conversation many times when he was still working full time and pastoring. We discussed the fact that our house needs attention. A house will fall if it is not taken care of. And, of course, he was work...

VICTORY

Saturday Good morning to you! The beach is waiting. I can't wait to get away. To rest. To regenerate. To be revived. And sometimes we just need to get away from our daily routine in order to do that. Get away from the phone and stuff like that. Unfortunately, with cell phones, these days we don't get away from the calls. It never fails that we go on vacation and always someone calls about my husband's work, either a person that works for him or someone wanting to get work done. But in all reality that is good. It means that the business is not dead. Praise the Lord for that! The beach does so much for me. I have the best time and the most relaxing time at the beach. I guess it is in my blood. I was born at the beach (a town at the beach). I lived near the beach for about 15 of my growing up years. My grandparents built a house in Malibu, CA overlooking the ocean when I was a kid. (When I find the picture I will post it.) So, I feel like I belong there and I...

DROUGHT

  Good morning to you! Has it been raining where you are? It rained pretty good last night here. We need it. Actually we will take it all just so we aren't in the drought category. I saw on the weather yesterday that a lot of the country is in a severe drought.  Are you in a severe drought spiritually? I hope not but if you are, here are some scriptures that might help. Look to the LORD and his  strength; seek his face always. 1 Chronicles 16:11 The LORD is my strength and  my song; he has become my salvation.  He is my God, and I will praise him,  my father's God, and I will exalt him. Exodus 15:2 So do not fear, for I am with you;  do not be dismayed, for I am your  God. I will strengthen you and help you;  I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.   Isaiah 41:10 Do you not know? Have you not heard?  The LORD is the everlasting God, the  Creator of the ends of the e...
