The Presence of God
The writer of Psalm 27 is intentionally focusing on one of the most important aspects of our spiritual life.
Throughout Scripture, we learn about the importance of the presence of God.
It is in the presence of God that we find strength and hope (Psalm 27:1).
It is in God’s presence that we find Hope, Joy, Beauty, and the Restoration of our weary souls.
It’s also in God’s presence that our enemies lose their power over us (Psalm 27:2-3).
In Psalm 27:4 the writer of the Psalm expresses his desire to dwell within the house of the Lord,
to gaze upon God’s beauty and be in His presence in the temple.
In the Old Testament, the presence of God was primarily within the temple.
But through spending time with God, the Psalmist found hope and restoration for his soul.
The Presence of God
Psalm 27:4 KJV
One thing have I desired of the LORD, that will I seek after; That I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, To behold the beauty of the LORD, and to enquire in his temple.

Thanks to Jesus, God’s presence is no longer confined to the temple.
His presence is now available to us through the Holy Spirit who dwells within believers.
We now have access to God’s presence at any time.
Just like the writer of the Psalm desired to dwell within God’s presence, we also should desire to be with God as much as possible.
It is in God’s presence that we find hope, joy, beauty, and the restoration of our weary souls.
It is important that we spend time with God each and every day.
We can do this through regularly reading Scripture and reflecting on what we read.
We can also spend time in prayer, talking to God about what is happening in our life.
Another way to spend time in God’s presence is to simply be aware that He is with you through your daily tasks each day.

Let Us Pray
God, please continue to be the focus of my daily life.
Make Your presence known to me.
Draw me close to You so that way I can know You more deeply.
I want to seek You all the days of my life.
In Jesus’ name, Amen.
The Presence of God
