The presence of God is something that every believer should desire to be in. Psalms 27 says that its the writer’s one desire in life, his central joy, to be in his God’s presence. When we are in the Presence of God darkness cannot work in you, sin has no place in you when your in His presence. It’s like being in light that darkness cannot come into. So we are to desire to be in His presence, we’re not to hide or run from His presence, but rather seek it, live in it.
So how can one live in the presence of God at all times? Well we are to keep in mind that there is no place that God’s presence cannot be found. One Psalm states if I ascend into heaven, lo Your there, if I make my bed in hell behold Your there also. So the reality is that we are constantly in the presence of God, but are we aware of it? Are we living as though God was standing by us. Would you say that thing to someone in the presence of God? Would say that thing about someone in the presence of God? Would you talk to your spouse, your children, your parent, your employer, your coworker, your friend, your enemy the same way if you were in God’s presence? Conversations have a way of changing when other people are present. So if we want to be in God’s presence then let’s live in God’s presence, even when we don’t “feel” Him. He’s always there. Let’s tune into His presence.
