God With Us

Read:

Revelations 21:3 

And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, “Look! God’s dwelling place is now among the people, and he will dwell with them. They will be his people, and God himself will be with them and be their God.

 

Meditate:

Exodus 29:45
I will dwell among the sons of Israel and will be their God.

John 1:14   
And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us, and we saw His glory, glory as of the only begotten from the Father, full of grace and truth.

Matt. 1:23

“Look! The virgin will conceive a child! She will give birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel, which means ‘God is with us.’”

 

What is the significance of God living with me?

Does He make a difference in my life, in my home, in my workplace, etc.?

 

This is the constant question circling my head: How is God's presence obvious to me, and how to do I help others to recognize Him?

Pray:

Thank you for making Yourself known to me. Thanks for impacting me with a wonderful friendship, supplying all my needs and even most of my wants. You are gracious and kind, a good listener, and a great counselor. May You equip me to share how wonderful you are with others around me. May You open their eyes and their hearts to hear and see Your goodness. May You place others in my path who needs to hear about You. Open opportunities to share Your truth.

Listen:

How do I notice You?

How does my worldview impact my vision of seeing You?

Who draws my attention closer to You? Who distracts my attention of You?

Reinforce the importance of daily quiet times with You.

What are steps to learn to recognize You?
