God’s living presence – Shilpa Dhinakaran

“I will live with them and walk among them, and I will be their God, and they will be my people.” (2 Corinthians 6:16)
Dear friend, God’s promise for today is from 2 Corinthians 6:16, “I will live with them and walk among them, and I will be their God, and they will be my people.” The Lord says just like how He lived among Adam and Eve, He will live with us. Even while you go to work, He will be with you. Even if you are at home, cooking for your family or taking care of your family, He will be with you.

So many times when we have felt lonely or when we were in prayer as a family, we have felt His presence. There were many times when I was in hostel, when I felt lonely I used to cry out to God and He used to comfort me. Just like how a parent or a friend will comfort us, the Lord too will comfort us. That is what the Lord is promising you today. He is saying, “I will be with you. Whatever happens around you, wherever you go, I will be with you.
The Bible says in Psalm 139:8, “If I go up to the heavens, you are there; if I make my bed in the depths, you are there.” Wherever you are, the Lord is with you. Be it in your happiness or sadness, the Lord is always with you. Today, ask the Lord, “Lord be with me,” and thank Him for His presence. Psalm 5:12 says, “Surely, LORD, you bless the righteous; you surround them with your favor as with a shield.” Yes, God will bless you, be with you and surround you with His favor as a shield protects a person. Are you ready to experience God’s presence? Pray right now and claim this blessing. The Lord will be with you wherever you are.
Prayer:
Loving Father,

I thank You for Your presence in my life. Lord, I am far away from my family. Lord, but let Your presence be with me to comfort me and guide me. Thank You for this promise. Thank You for You will surround me with Your favor and make me enjoy the joy of Your presence.

In Jesus’ precious name, I pray. Amen.
