The message for the beloved Children of God is - The Presence Of God!

Good morning,
The message for the beloved Children of God is - The Presence Of God!
 
The Bible describes heaven as a place filled with God's presence.The angels stand in God's presence and crying out, Holy, holy, holy ! Your people ( the believers), are crying out Holy, holy, holy, is His Name ! God's presence is a place where prayer is heard. David sought the Lord's presence when Israel faced a three-year famine. God's presence is also a place of blessing. David counted it a joy to experience the Lord's presence, read Acts 2:25-28,For David speaketh concerning him, I foresaw the Lord always before my face, for he is on my right hand, that I should not be moved: Therefore did my heart rejoice, and my tongue was glad; moreover also my flesh shall rest in hope: Because thou wilt not leave my soul in hell, neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption. Thou hast made known to me the ways of life; thou shalt make me full of joy with thy countenance. Peter described it as the source of blessing for all who place their faith in Christ. The word says,repent and turn back to God, so that your sins may be wiped away. Read Acts 3:18-21,But those things, which God before had shewed by the mouth of all his prophets, that Christ should suffer, he hath so fulfilled. Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord. And he shall send Jesus Christ, which before was preached unto you: Whom the heaven must receive until the times of restitution of all things, which God hath spoken by the mouth of all his holy prophets since the world began. He will not tolerate pride, and He will bring our words under his judgment. Knowing God is present should keep our behavior respectful and humble, for God hears our every word and holds us accountable to everything we speak and think. The promise which God had given Moses was a wonderful one. God had assured Moses that He would not only be present with him spiritually, but He would also be with His people, Israel. How awesome is that? For us the believers we will see Him one day face to face. The day when the presence of God will be even more intimate and precious. It will commence with the coming of our Lord for His own, read 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17,For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. Heavenly Father, we thank you for always being with us. Wash us thoroughly and cleanse us from all iniquity, we acknowledge that you are everywhere.  Help us to learn from your word, so that we can live a good life. Thank you Lord for your word. Amen !
