The Sweetness of His Presence
But for me it is good to be near God; I have made the Lord God my refuge, that I may tell of all your works.—Psalm 73:28 (ESV)
I want to know Christ—yes, to know the power of His resurrection and participation in His sufferings, becoming like Him in His death, and so, somehow, attaining to the resurrection from the dead.—Philippians 3:10–11 (NIV)
Take a moment and consider the amazing power of Christ in your life. Feel the comfort of His infinite love. Reflect on how much He suffered for you. Spend time with Him in prayer and ask Him how you can truly know Him.
Heavenly Father, open my eyes and heart to know You better.
But for me it is good to be near God; I have made the Lord God my refuge, that I may tell of all your works.—Psalm 73:28 (ESV)
Let what you say be simply ‘Yes’ or ‘No’; anything more than this comes from evil.—Matthew 5:37 (ESV)
Go to the ant, you sluggard; consider its ways and be wise! It has no commander, no overseer or ruler, yet it stores its provisions in summer and gathers its food at harvest.—Proverbs 6:6–8 (NIV)
