Wait in the Presence

Be still in the presence of the LORD, and wait patiently for him to act. Don’t worry about evil people who prosper or fret about their wicked schemes.- Psalms 37:7 (NLT)

Transcript:

Sometimes God wants us to act and sometimes He wants us to sit back, relax and enjoy what He is doing in our life. And that’s what the Lord says in Ps 37:7. Today, seek out ways and keys that will help you to be still in His presence. Before you do that, you would need to get the answers to these questions: 1. Where do you get the presence of God 2. How do you host the presence of God 3. What you need to do to sustain the presence of God Whatever key you find to get into the presence of God, may it be worship or fellowship or anything, once you enter into His presence, do not struggle by bringing in the works of the flesh but be still. And when you are in His presence, you are expected to wait patiently for God to act. Generally, we think that the act of God is about He fighting our enemies or healing us, but yet the most beautiful work that He does is not in the circumstances around us but our heart depending upon our willingness. Our biggest enemy is the lack of transformation that we experience on the inside of us.

A child of God doesn’t have to worry about who is prospering or growing, because you are a carrier of God’s presence, you are going prosper anywhere you go. Don’t fret but find the presence of God and be still and wait patiently for God to act, in you first, for you and then through you.

Feel For Him

He did this so that they would look for him, and perhaps find him as they felt around for him. Yet God is actually not far from any one of us.

Lock the Door

Matthew 23:13 (GNT)
““How terrible for you, teachers of the Law and Pharisees! You hypocrites! You lock the door to the Kingdom of heaven in people’s faces, but you yourselves don’t go in, nor do you allow in those who are trying to enter!”

Psalm 147:2–3 reveals God's heart as a Restorer rather than a Punisher. Although Israel went into exile because of its own rebellion, God did not abandon His people. Instead, He promised to restore Jerusalem, bring the exiles home, heal the brokenhearted, and bind up their wounds.

The message reminds us that while God may use friends, pastors, counselors, or loved ones to help us, true healing and restoration ultimately come from the Lord. His restoration reaches every part of our lives—our hearts, relationships, health, finances, emotions, and spiritual walk.

God knows every wound, including those hidden from others. Unlike people, who can only comfort from the outside, He sees the deepest parts of our hearts and heals completely. His healing is so complete that even the scars of past pain lose their power to define us.

The devotion encourages believers to fix their eyes on God instead of relying solely on human help. No matter how far someone has drifted, how many mistakes they have made, or how broken they feel, God is still calling them back. His desire is to restore, heal, and make all things beautiful in His perfect timing.
