Commit to Memory: How lovely is your dwelling place, Lord Almighty! My soul yearns, even faints, for the courts of the Lord…” (Psalm 84:1-2 NIV)

Friends, God’s presence is the secret of impact. Beyond tongues and gifts, his presence is the place of intimacy where men of depth are made. His awesome presence is supreme above everything else. In fact, everything that doesn’t look like heaven cannot stand in his presence. Little wonder the Psalmist said the mountains melt like wax and skip like rams at the sight of his presence. So stop being a visitor in his presence. Why? It’s the product of your intimacy with his presence that makes you to shake the world. Why? His presence is rest and refreshing for the soul that is longing for God.

God desires you to carry his glory and if you must be a carrier of his glory you must stay by default in his presence. His presence makes you walk with him. If you will pay the prize to stay in his presence- He will make your life an awesome wonder. It is for this reason Jesus said concerning Mary on the need to stay in his presence in Luke 10:42. He said:

“But one thing is needful: and Mary hath chosen that good part, which shall not be taken away from her.”

Imagine the confession of David as portrayed in today’s commit to memory as touching his desire to feasting in His presence. I pray the Lord will find us faithfully dwelling in his presence in Jesus name.

Reflection: If you will quit chasing healing, power and fame, you will find it all if you stay in His presence.

Prayer Lines: Father, I say let everything else wait,  just give me your presence as a gift.
