Beauty of Being in His Presence



Honor the Lord for the glory of His name. Worship the Lord in the
splendor of His holiness. (Psalm 29:2 NLT).


This morning, like many Friday mornings, I was driving my daughter to school. On our way, a song came on the radio that simply grabbed more than my attention. I felt like it gripped something deep inside of me. While I had heard this particular song before, I had never really listened to the words. This time, tears were rolling down my face and I was ushered into an amazing moment of pure and simple worship--right there in my car.

Isn't it amazing that God gives us these opportunities to just lay aside ourselves and enter into moments like this one. Times where we are just taken back by being in His presence. In these times, we give Him all the credit--and we give Him all the honor. He gives us peace, joy, and the promise of His presence.

God does not limit worship to specific times in specific places done in a specific way. Our life, as believers, can be a time of worship. It can be in a group or all alone. It can be somber or it can be animated. All He asks is for us to focus on Him and to believe in the truth of who He is in us and who we are in Him. Then, allow Him to do the rest.

I encourage you to open your mind to His amazing love for you through your worship.


Stay Strong,


Dave
