Joy in His Presence
You have made known to me the ways of life;
You will make me full of joy in Your presence .
Acts 2:28 (NKJV)
Words from Psalm 16:11, spoken by the apostle Peter on the day of Pentecost.
God sent His Holy Spirit to the believers. They felt His presence and became empowered to spread the Gospel message to all.
As followers of Jesus, we may often have times when we wonder if God truly knows what we go through as we traverse this world.
Yes, He does. Because we have his presence in our homes, our places of work, our places of worship, and in our places of recreation.
As our society has become “more advanced”, we seem to have pushed God away from our day today lives. In my life, I have had two relatives tell me that they were “no longer Christian.” I honestly did not know how to respond. Now, I know what I would say to them.
“God does not give up on His children, even when they give up on Him. God sometimes sees qualites in us that we don’t see, attributes He can use for His kingdom.
While initially typing this, God led me to make a phone call to a church friend who has ‘issues’ with anxiety. I had been missing her at church; usually, when I remembered I needed to call her,I felt it was too late at night.
As believers in Christ, we should find ways to bring glory to God. We can do this through prayer and fasting, through obeying His Word and direction, and through treating others as we would like to be treated.
