Daily we are required to deny ourselves, pick up our cross, and follow Jesus. Though this is necessary, it would be impossible to do so without the presence of Jesus in our lives. He is always with us, but most of us do not daily recognize His presence, purposefully acknowledge Him, or deliberately spend time with God in His presence. We don’t worship Him daily, strive to grow closer to Him, or intentionally spend time with Him. Developing a close personal relationship with God must be our top priority, and spending time each day in God’s Word is the key to growing closer to the Lord and developing a strong personal relationship with Jesus. Through God’s Word, we can know the power of His presence in our lives. Bible Bits: In His Presence offers a journey through the Scriptures through thirty devotions that teach you to recognize God’s presence, acknowledge God’s presence in your life, and purposely spend time with Him. If you are seeking to grow deeper in your walk with Christ or searching to know whether God truly sees, hears, and cares, you can start developing your personal relationship with Jesus today as you spend time in His presence.
