Dwelling in His Presence

Psalm 27:4
One thing I have desired of the Lord,
That will I seek:
That I may dwell in the house of the Lord
All the days of my life,

God-tracking is dwelling in his presence, always.
King David was a great man. He was the only king of Israel who truly obeyed the decrees of the Lord until his dying day. David was no angel, but he loved the presence of God. David wrote, “One thing I have desired of the Lord, that I may dwell in the house of the Lord, all the days of my life.” David knew that the presence of God was always the place of his security, hope and rejuvenation.

Perhaps you find yourself in the thick of conflict or confusion today. If that’s true, then make a conscious effort to rise above your circumstances and seek the dwelling of the Lord in prayer. David spent many a day in the tabernacle, still before God when his soul was downcast. If you know Christ as Lord and Saviour, then your body has become the very temple of the Lord God Almighty. The dwelling of the Lord is a place of fragrant peace. So, rest in him today, wherever you are, and he will hide you under the shadow of his wings.

God-tracking is dwelling in his presence, always.

“God has a plan for your life. His plan is for your good and for you to touch and change the lives of many for the good, for good. Rest in his rock and know his covering hand.”

Exodus 33:22
I will put you in the cleft of the rock and will cover you with My hand while I pass by.

I sat staring at the microphone in my radio studio. I had just closed the mic after a short chat about a
Bible verse when I was unexpectedly overwhelmed by the sheer magnitude of my task. I worked for an international radio ministry that reached millions of people by radio on FM and shortwave. I produced a 2-hour music magazine show that was aired daily from 4.00 pm to 6.00 pm. One word from me on the radio could change a life for good. Suddenly I saw millions of lives packed in that that small black AKG radio microphone. I could relate to how Moses must have felt when God called him to lead a million people across a desert to a land flowing with milk and honey.

Moses said to the Lord, “You say to me, ‘Bring up this people. Yet you have said, ‘I know you by name, and you have also found grace in My sight.’” Moses was an outcast. He had killed an Egyptian and was exiled to live in the desert. Here, the Lord of heaven and earth appeared to him and called him to lead the Israelites out of slavery in Egypt to the land promised to their father, Abraham. Old Moses lacked self-confidence. He had a stutter and was shy of people. Yet, God had a plan for him. One word from Moses would change, not just one life, but the world.

Obediently Moses led the Israelites out of Egypt. Yet he was still unsure of the sheer responsibility he had. It was at Sinai that God gave Moses the 10 commandments that impact lives still today. Moses’ greatest task was to bring us the Law of the Lord. Perhaps it was on the mountain he felt as I felt in my studio that day; insecure and overwhelmed by the task. It was then that Moses was whelmed by the presence of the Lord as God hid him in the cleft of a rock and covered him with his hand. As the next song in my playlist rang out over the airwaves, I was encouraged by the knowledge that his grace and presence were my power to touch the lives of many.

God has a plan for your life. His plan is for your good and for you to touch and change the lives of many for the good, for good. Rest in his rock and know his covering hand.

God-tracking is fulfilling your purpose in the presence of God.

“Hide me in the cleft of a rock and cover me with your hand so that I may fulfill this task by the power of your presence and grace.”

“O Lord, sometimes I feel so overcome by the tasks you give me. Sometimes I feel that there must be other people who could do a better job than me. But then I remember that, just as Moses felt insecure and unqualified to fulfill his task, yet you came through for him, you are the source of my skill, energy and confidence. Hide me in the cleft of a rock and cover me with your hand so that I may fulfill this task by the power of your presence and grace. Amen.”

“But when Jesus died the veil was ripped in two revealing the glory of God to all who would come to him in faith. Through Jesus, the veil is removed enabling you and me to embrace God’s presence.”

2 Corinthians 3:16
Nevertheless, when one turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away.

Accompanied by majestic music, the young bride slowly walked down the aisle arm in arm with her father. She looked beautiful. Her delicate white gown gently embraced her shoulders while a covering lace flourished to her ankles. Behind her flowed a long white train. The bride’s countenance was obscured by a soft white veil. Slowly, majestically, dad and daughter made their way to the altar to meet her groom, her radiant visage concealed to him. Through a veil dimly he gazed at her beauty. Reaching up, tears in his eyes, her father unveiled her face, kissed his daughter, and presented her to her husband. From that moment on the groom would be with his unveiled bride, embracing her presence.

When Moses descended from Mount Sinai after being in God’s presence for forty days his face was glowing. The sheer magnificence of the glory of the Lord Almighty had engulfed the man so that light radiated from his countenance. The people could not look at him. So, Moses covered his face with a veil. Moses had embraced the presence of the holy God such that God’s glory was evident in his face. To this day when Moses is read, a veil lies on their hearts. But when Jesus died the veil was ripped in two revealing the glory of God to all who would come to him in faith. Through Jesus, the veil is removed enabling you and me to embrace God’s presence.

Have you allowed the veil to be removed or are you standing concealed before the groom? Come to Jesus now and allow the Father to remove that veil. Open your heart and embrace God’s presence.

God-tracking is being uncovered in the presence of God.

IT’S ALL IN THE BIBLE. READ ALL ABOUT IT. (NKJV)

His presence, by the fellowship of Holy Spirit, is with you every second of every day. You can never come into his presence because you can never leave his presence.”

Matthew 11:28
Come to Me, all you who labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.

Stephen remembered how he had witnessed some of the great miracles that Jesus had performed. He was still young but he had a passion to share the gospel that Jesus had commissioned his disciples to share. Stephen was one of the 120 who were in the upper room in Jerusalem on Pentecost when God poured out his Holy Spirit. What an experience! God’s glory filled the room. What appeared to be flames of fire rested on each man’s head while a great rushing sound was heard in the large room. Since then, Stephen, full of faith and power, had done great wonders and signs among the people. Now, as he stood before the Sanhedrin, he remembered what Jesus had said shortly before he ascended back to paradise, “I am with you always, even to the end of the age.”

“This man does not cease to speak blasphemous words against this holy place and the law.” Stephen faced the Sanhedrin for speaking boldly in the name of Jesus. Hurling false trumped-up charges against Stephen, they gazed at his face in amazement. Stephen’s face shone with a light as Moses’ face had shone with when he descended from Sinai. They dragged him outside and began stoning him. Gazing upward, Stephen said, “Look! I see the heavens opened and the Son of Man standing at the right hand of God!”

Right to the point of death, Stephen knew that Jesus would never leave him. Jesus had promised to be with him and he was. This is the same Jesus who says to you today, “I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” His presence, by the fellowship of Holy Spirit, is with you every second of every day. You can never come into his presence because you can never leave his presence. When you come to worship or pray, you simply come into the presence of mind of his presence. If you find yourself laboured or burdened today, come to Jesus and rest in his companionship. He is with you always.

God-tracking is resting in his faithful presence.

Holy As He is Holy

“May we not strut about like the insolent man on his fine horse. Rather, may we set our eyes on Jesus, seeking his glory and being holy as he is holy.”

1 Peter 1:15
but as he who called you is holy, you also be holy in all your conduct

St. Francis de Sales said, “Some men become proud and insolent because they ride a fine horse, wear a feather in their hat or are dressed in a fine suit of clothes. Who does not see the folly of this? If there be any glory in such things, surely the glory belongs to the horse, the bird and the tailor.” We all strive for the glory of God in our lives. And, indeed, God’s glory is something well worth striving for. However, the key to my experience of God’s glory is not found in my presentation but in his presence and a retreat from my significance.

The manifest glory of God is found in total submission to his holiness. God is holy. The word holy means consecrated, sanctified and unique. God is supremely unique: there is nothing like God – his splendour, righteousness, majesty – in all the universe! When people enter the glory of God, they will experience his holiness. And God’s holiness greatly challenges their fallen state.

The prophet Isaiah experienced the glory of God. He describes it like this: “I saw the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up; and the train of his robe filled the temple.” (This robe was the glory of God.) “Above him stood the seraphim. And one called to another and said: ‘Holy, holy, holy is the Lord of hosts; the whole earth is full of his glory!’” Then he says the temple shook at the revelation of God’s majesty and the house was filled with smoke. Smoke or clouds are often evidence of the glory of God. Then notice Isaiah’s response: “Woe is me! For I am lost; for I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips; for my eyes have seen the King, the Lord of hosts!”

Do you desire to experience more of God’s glory? I do. Do you have a yearning to come under the influence of his Holy Spirit and dwell in his temple? I do. Do you have a passion to reveal God’s majesty in your life? I do. If this is true then let us admit to our sin and confess it to God, as Isaiah did. Let’s submit to God’s majesty allowing our lips to be touched by the fire of his holiness, drawing near to his throne by the blood of Jesus. May we not strut about like the insolent man on his fine horse. Rather, may we set our eyes on Jesus, seeking his glory and being holy as he is holy.

God-tracking is walking in holiness for his glory

GOD-TRACKING IS WALKING IN HIS PATH FOR LIFE BY LIVING IN HIS PRESENCE

Whatever you’re facing today put your hope in God’s plans and watch for his every movement. He will make known to you the path of life; in his presence there is fullness of joy. God’s presence gives you power for purpose!”

Psalm 16:11
You make known to me the path of life; in your presence there is fullness of joy; at your right hand are pleasures for evermore.

The prophet Isaiah was a man who knew well the meaning of God-tracking. As a cousin to king Uzziah, he was born to a privileged position in Jerusalem. Yet Isaiah most definitely did not rely on his royal heritage for purpose in his life. On the contrary, during the reigns of three subsequent kings, he was to prove himself to be quite the thorn in the flesh of his royal relatives as they attempted to lead Judea into foreign elegance. He believed that the Lord God had a clear plan for Jerusalem to maintain autonomy and mirror his glory at a time of greyed-out borders. One man against a whole parliament (or royal court) and yet he was strong, consistent and sure of God’s presence. How did he do it?

Isaiah said, “He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak. Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall; but those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.” In some translations, the word “hope” is translated as “wait”. Both words imply remaining in the Lord’s presence as you track his will. You see, it is only out of the presence of God – by the Word and the Spirit – that strength, power and hope for purpose will come to you. Waiting on the Lord and standing his ground against all odds, Isaiah became one of the greatest prophets of God.

Whatever you’re facing today put your hope in God’s plans and watch for his every movement. He will make known to you the path of life; in his presence, there is fullness of joy. God’s presence gives you power for purpose!

God-tracking is walking his path of life by living in his presence.

I know you will never forsake me, even as I navigate these difficulties. I rest in your presence and put my faith in the plan you know you have for my life.
