The wonders of God's presence is scattered throughout the bible, just awaiting each one of us to freely access...
In the presence of God, we find:
Rest - The Lord replied, “My Presence will go with you, and I will give you rest.” (Ex 33:14)Protection and safety - In the shelter of your presence you hide them from all human intrigues; you keep them safe in your dwelling from accusing tongues. (Ps 31:20) Fullness of joy You make known to me the path of life; you will fill me with joy in your presence, with eternal pleasures at your right hand. (Ps16:11) Victory Then my head will be exalted above the enemies who surround me; at his sacred tent I will sacrifice with shouts of joy; I will sing and make music to the Lord. (Ps 27:6) Acceptance Though my father and mother forsake me, the Lord will receive me. (Ps 27:10)And there is SO MUCH MORE!
In his book "Practice of the Presence of God", brother Lawrence simply says “He does not ask much of us, merely a thought of Him from time to time, a little act of adoration, sometimes to ask for His grace, sometimes to offer Him your sufferings, at other times to thank Him for the graces, past and present, He has bestowed on you, in the midst of your troubles to take solace in Him as often as you can. Lift up your heart to Him during your meals and in company; the least little remembrance will always be the most pleasing to Him. One need not cry out very loudly; He is nearer to us than we think.”
Often times, I connect best with GOd while doing a jog outdoors, or listening to music or just turning my thoughts towards him while on the train to work. How will you connect with Him today?
