God’s Presence and People

Luke 21:26 Jesus warns that there will be difficult days, and the hearts of many will be intimidated and that fright will overtake them. The Word of God gives us the answer to those days because we are the called-out ones, God’s assembly, and His presence overcomes the spirit of the antichrist. Let’s not forget His promise to us in Matt 18:20 “For where two or three are gathered in my name, there am I in the midst of them.” David says it this way in Ps 27:4 where he describes how Yahweh will provide victory against his enemies and his desire was to dwell in Yahweh’s presence in the temple. “One thing have I desired of the Lord, that will I seek after; That I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, To behold the beauty of the Lord, and to inquire in his temple.”

When God makes His presence felt through us, we are like the burning bush: Moses never took any heed what sort of bush it was - he only saw the brightness of the Lord. - Author: George Eliot
