Tuesday 15th December 2015; Daily Grace Inspirations By Pastor Joseph Prince - Practicing God's Presence
God has promised you His constant presence (Hebrews 13:5), but
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 and powerful 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 off on you.
But how do you practice being conscious of God’s presence?
Start by seeing God with you in whatever you do and wherever you are. For example, at your board meeting, while deliberating on issues, see the Lord there in the boardroom with you, guiding you in your thinking. 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.
If you are going for an interview, see the Lord there in the interview room with you, putting answers in your mouth. Your nervousness will melt away as you see His favor on you bringing on smiles and approving nods from the interviewers.
Perhaps you are going for surgery. Well, see the Lord in the operating theatre 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.
Beloved, 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 prospering you in what you say and do!
