In His presence!

Every creature has an optimal environment that allows them to live and thrive. To the fish, it’s the ocean. To the bird, it’s the sky. To the Christian, it’s God’s presence.  Psalm 140:13 “Surely the righteous shall give thanks to Your name; The upright shall dwell in Your presence“. In His presence, we are made strong. We are cleansed, We receive His joy. We receive wisdom. We are protected. We receive His mercy. We are protected from our enemies. We are secure. We are loved. We see with His eyes. We feel His heart. We get answers for our prayers. We experience resurrection power. We receive spiritual, mental and emotional healing. His presence is the place where we live and thrive. Have you experienced His presence?

Psalm 16:11 “You will show me the path of life; In Your presence is fullness of joy”.

He is my Hero!

I read these three verses and they gave me great comfort and joy. Psalms 118: 5-7 (TPT)Out of my deep anguish and pain I prayed, and God, you helped me as a father. You came to my rescue and broke open the way
into a beautiful and broad place. Now I know, Lord, that you are for me,
and I will never fear what man can do to me. For you stand beside me as my hero who rescues me. I’ve seen with my own eyes the defeat of my enemies.
I’ve triumphed over them all!” As I look to my past and remember the times of anguish and pain, my point of breakthrough was when I went before the Lord and presented to Him the things that were causing me anguish and pain. In every case, the Lord helped me overcome the issues and in its place, He gave me His peace, joy and strength. Today, I know He is with me because His word promises it. He is faithful. He is our Heavenly Father. He is our hero. He is our rescuer. He helps us to defeat all of our enemies. He will cause us to triumph over them all! If you are in pain or anguish, call out to God today and let Him come alongside you to help you, to strengthen you,  to deliver you and to set you in a beautiful and broad place.
