Is was a Presence, not faith, that drew Moses to the burning bush, and what happened there was a revelation, not a seminar. It was a Presence, not faith, which drew the disciples to Jesus and what what happened then was not an educational program but his revelation to them of himself as the long promised Anointed One.
Their lives, just like Moses, were changed radically by that encounter with a Presence which upended all their ordinary expectations.
David said, "Cast me not away from your Presence, take not your Holy Spirit from me." I wonder today if we cherish the Presence of God the way we should. Jesus promised to be with us when we gather together.
I am living in such expectation of our being together and His Presence! I hope you are too!

Psalm 139:7 “Where could I go from Your Spirit? Or where could I flee from Your presence. David has reminded me the there is no place that I can hide form God’s presence. He knows everything, he sees everything, he is everywhere. By realizing this know that I am never alone. He as said he will never leave or forsake us. WhenI read 1 Corinthians 3:16 “Do you not know that you are God’s temple and that God’s Spirit has His permanent dwelling in you. By understanding this I know that God dwells in me, for the presence of God is given to all those who believe.
The presence of God is something we cannot live without, yet knowing he is always with me, I still find myself wanting more and more of him. The closer I get to God, the more I realize just how far away I am.
