Last night while sharing in a family meal, my 2 year old nephew, Jesse, watched me take my nominated seat at the other end of the table and promptly remarked, "Timma, I can't see you there. Come up here!" Well, that was a special moment for me ~ my presence was appreciated and valued. So, dutifully and willingly, I sat myself down next to him.
Likewise, as Christians, we desire the presence of God in and through our lives. Our spirits long to be always in God's presence. While serving in Malaysia, we were privileged to share in worship and personal fellowship with international worship leader, Don Moen. It was a great inspiration to be in the presence of a man of God with a real worshipful heart.
Reflecting on these moments brings to mind this prayerful desire for the presence of God.
"I want to be where You are dwelling in Your presence.
Feasting at Your table, surrounded by Your glory.
In Your presence, that's where I always want to be.
I just want to be,
I just want to be with You."
May we always have a heartfelt desire to live and experience the presence of God each day.
Psalm 27:4
"One thing I ask of the LORD, this is what I seek: That I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to gaze upon the beauty of the LORD and to seek him in his temple."
