His Present Presence...

I never tire writing about it…

“God our refuge and strength.
A very present help in trouble.
Therefore we shall not fear…”
Psalm 46:1-2a

His presence…is always…present.

Some years ago…I decided I wouldn’t live another day without…His presence. Come hell or high water…I was choosing to nurture, not only a devotional time with Jesus (praying requests, reading the Word, journaling)…but a frequent waiting…basking…in the Holy Spirit who reveals the Savior within us and to us (John 16)….so…

Believe me…my family and the church we pastor have experienced some…CRAZY…stuff during these years…yet…His presence…has ALWAYS…been present. I can tell you story after ridiculously loving story…of Jesus in our midst. Now…

What used to be mere theory…has become reality. He is the real deal and He wants you to draw close…and really know Him…not just about Him. So…

Is it time to prime the pump, as it were? Time to allow the Holy Spirit to nurture His present presence in…your life…now? I can promise you…the next big (or little) storm won’t rock your world as much as it would like to. King Jesus wants to walk you through your struggles…and…fear can be a thing of the past. Really.

Feel free to share...
