In His Presence

As Christians, we have a huge gift with us every moment of every day – the gift of the Holy Spirit and God’s presence with us.

In John 14:16-17 NKJV Jesus said, “And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever— the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him; but you know Him, for He dwells with you and will be in you.“

And in Acts 2 we read about how the Holy Spirit came upon the first Christians on the day of Pentecost, which we celebrate today on Pentecost Sunday.

When we gave our lives to the Lord, the Holy Spirit came to dwell in us. I think sometimes we forgot the magnitude of this. He is with us always.

When we are facing a difficult situation, we might feel like we are alone. We think the weight of the world is on our shoulders. We believe that we have to fix things on our own.

However, the truth is that we have THE Living and Almighty God of the universe with us. Every moment. No matter how things look, or how we might feel, we are not alone.

I just want to remind you of this truth today. Whatever you are facing, you are not alone. Take comfort in the fact that God is with you. Allow Him to lead and to handle the trials in your life. There is power in His presence!

Pray with me: God, I want to thank You for the gift of the Holy Spirit. I forget sometimes that You are always with me. In those moments, fear and worry come in. It feels like I’m alone and I have to handle everything in my own strength. Help me to keep my eyes on You. Help me to lean into Your presence and rely on Your strength. I’m so grateful that You are always near. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

  4. At our darkest and lowest, He’s there with us even as we were on the highest mountain top. We forget to call out to Him. What a privilege to be able to! It has helped so many times when I remember this simple thing… we’re not as alone as we feel. Thanks for this!!

    • What a gift we have in the Lord. Sometimes the enemy will use trials to bring us down and make us feel we are alone. But we have to remind ourselves of truth. I’m so thankful He is always there and understands what we are going through. ♥️

    • So so true! I was praying about something this morning that was weighing on my mind, and I said, “Jesus, you are all I’ve got.” And like you said, “In Him, we have all we need.” ♥️♥️
