Mark spoke about living in God’s presence this morning at Cherry Tree Court. If you want to meet someone famous, you usually have to wait for an invitation or go to a particular place where you may meet that person. God extends an open invitation to each one of us, however, to draw near to Him.
Ps 27:1-6 is a psalm written by King David who, even in the midst of trials and in the presence of enemies, prayed that he would dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of his life. He not only wanted to live in God’s presence, but actively pursued that desire. We are part of God’s family and are therefore granted access to His presence night and day; God is our Father and can come to Him at any time and in any place.
Ps 23:1-6 also looks at the fact that God is our guide throughout life and prepares a table for us in the presence of our enemies so that we may dwell in the house of the Lord not only for our lives on earth but forever. God’s blessings are so abundant that our cup overflows and we can be with God for eternity.
