TOPIC: Enjoying the Divine Presence
READ: Exodus 33:13-18
13. Now therefore, I pray thee, if I have found grace in thy sight, show me now thy way, that I may know thee, that I may find grace in thy sight: and consider that this nation is thy people.
14. And he said, My presence shall go with thee, and I will give thee rest.
15. And he said unto him, If thy presence go not with me, carry us not up hence.
16. For wherein shall it be known here that I and thy people have found grace in thy sight? is it not in that thou goest with us? so shall we be separated, I and thy people, from all the people that are upon the face of the earth.
17. And the LORD said unto Moses, I will do this thing also that thou hast spoken: for thou hast found grace in my sight, and I know thee by name.
18. And he said, I beseech thee, show me thy glory.
MEMORISE
And Elijah said, As the LORD of hosts liveth, before whom I stand, I will surely show myself unto him to day. – 1 Kings 18:15
Divine presence is used to refer to the presence of God. In the Bible, there are instances where the Bible described the Divine presence by associating it with different manifestations. Some of these manifestations appeared as bright light, et cetera. The Bible speaks of the presence in the form of peace and security, victory in battle, unmerited favour, miraculous deliverance, divine help and support. However, the greatest expression of the divine presence of God is found in Jesus. Colossians 2:9 says:
“For in him dwelleth all the fullness of the Godhead bodily.”
In Jesus is the best expression of the Divine presence. Apart from the work of salvation which He came to accomplish, Jesus also came into this world to perfectly demonstrate the nature of God. Therefore, to experience the Divine presence, you need to accept Jesus into your life. His presence in a life grants access to God, gives peace and direction. If you dont have Jesus, you are missing a lot.
ACTION POINT
Only in Jesus is there fullness of joy.
