Hebrews 4:13

Hebrews 4:13Nothing in all creation is hidden from God's sight. Everything is uncovered and laid bare before the eyes of him to whom we must give account.

When I read this scripture it helped confirm what I explained to my daughters about the reality of Gods presence this weekend.

When we go on about our day whether it be work or play how often are we really aware of the presence of God in all we do? I know myself even my heart is joined with Christ, the mind is not always there.. There are many days lately where I feel if I am not speaking with God then the voice of evil which tries to take the idea of Him away will succeed! This is a human weakness. but with Gods strength it is overcome.

My oldest daughter asked me Sunday as we studied Matthew together, " Mom when I am praying how will I know God's voice?" "A lot of times when I pray I am not sure He answers me"

This was a really good question one I had struggled with for a very long time and sometimes still do. But as I asked God to lead me I explained to her what I am learning myself when hearing Gods voice for me is an unexplainable feeling when my heart and my mind come together in agreement.. It is not only a voice of some kind but I am learning also God doesn't necessarily have to speak to you in your ear for you to hear Him. You can be reading or you could be having a conversation with another person or pass by the t.v. and something will touch your heart and your mind and that there is God reaching out to you.

When I asked her if that made sense she smiled and said "yes". I explained to my daughter that by just becoming aware of your surroundings can be ways that God is trying to bless you with His presence and we may never know if we do not confess and believe that we are always in Gods presence. It must become as real to us as the air we need to breath especially as a new believer and/or youth. Being aware can make a huge impact on how you respond to Gods attempts to reach out to you..

Not only talking about God or studying or finding the time to pray in silence can be considered being in His presence but coming to the reality that no matter what your doing or who your with or where you are at, "Forever and always will we remain in the presence of God." At no time in life are we alone or without our creator even if appears that way by unanswered prayers or conversation with God leading to the "WHYS" or "HOW COMES" in our lives..

We need to be bold with our children and their relationship with God and the truth of His presence which is everlasting. Not only is His presence everlasting but sharing the truth that we will not always hear a response or be revealed an answer and that we should not be disappointed or allow our hearts to be hardened. We as believers young or old need to be confident in our love for God, which will lead us to know for certain that He will always hand us the right solutions, just by pressing into Him at all times and fully relying on Him to control the situations by believing in your heart that the end result will always end in His good will!. The mind can be a huge challenge in this journey for it is conformed to this world and gripped by the sinful nature we have been born with.

Our hearts is where the Holy Spirit resides and if we confess our love daily and fall in the presence of the Lord the mind can only attempt to trip us but it shall never make us fall away from the Faith God has gifted each of us with!

So parents be sure to indulge in the Lord presence, encourage your children to indulge in Him as well. For our dwelling is within Him now and always....
