“I want the presence of God Himself, or I don't want
anything at all to do with religion... I want all that God has or I don't want
any.” ― A.W. Tozer
Ever had days where you felt like God was far away? Of
course God never leaves us, but for a few days maybe we leave Him. God
doesn’t change; we do. We get busy, our natural desires get in the way, and
before we know it—we no longer sense God’s presence. By presence I’m not
just talking about the chills that make the hair on your arm stand at church.
The Hebrew word for “presence” is “face.” To seek the face of God you
will need to draw so desperately close to Him that you can see every detail of
His character—the curvature of His cheekbones and the dimples of His smile.
Even to the point that when you close your eyes you have memorized what God
looks like. Today no matter what you do, stop and seek the presence of
God.
Seek, inquire of and for the
Lord, and crave Him and His strength (His might and inflexibility to temptation);
seek and require His face and His presence [continually] evermore (Psalm
105:4, AMP).
