In the presence of God

Greetings:
Being in the presence of God is what every Christian wants, but somehow few learn how to do it consistently.
Occasionally we happen to stumble into him, and we are feel refreshed, blessed and revived.
We must remember that God will never contradict his written canon – The Bible.
If you want to be in God's presence and hear his voice, stay close to the Bible – read it, read it and read it.
The more time we spend in the scriptures the better we will be tuned to God's voice.
The scriptures act like a tuning fork. If we are on that same frequency, we will hear God's voice clearly.
Without immersing ourselves in God's Word, we run the risk of being misled by the darkness and going astray from God's truth.
My friends, God is always near.
God fills the room around us where we are sitting or standing.
God is in the air above us. He is in the ground below our feet. His presence is everywhere.
God fills the highest heavens, the deepest seas, down to the center of the planet and out beyond the farthest-flung reaches of this galaxy.
God stands beside us hearing each breath we take, noting every motion and every thought that comes from us.
God knows how many hairs are on our head. God knows the hair count of every man, woman, and child all over this globe, all five- billion of us, at this instant.
God knows everyone's thoughts, every thought we ever had, every thought we are having right now, and every thought we ever will have, are known to him.
God knows every hurt we ever experienced, every bruise, every scrape, every scar, every tear, he knows and remembers.
God loves us despite  of everything bad -- or good -- that we have ever done, everything that we ever will do, and everything that we are doing right now.
God loves  you is with full knowledge of who you are, and what you are. He loves you infinitely, for he is an infinite God.
For God is also your Shepherd, your Counselor, your Savior, your Healer, your Righteousness... infinitely. If we have given ourself to him, then this infinite God is also infinitely ours. And if we have given ourself to him, then this infinite God also dwells in our heart.
God  knows every struggle, every question, every desire, every need, every want that we have, whether we are aware of them or not. And the thing that he wants most from us is very simple.
What is the first and greatest commandment? Love the Lord your God, with everything in us.
God wants us to love him.
So as you go about your day today, know that God is near. His presence is known.
We can feel his mighty power and his grace.
We can hear the brush of angels wings.
We see glory on each face we meet.
Surely the presence of the Lord is in this place.
