BE AWARE OF THE PRESENCE OF GOD

BE AWARE TO THE PRESENCE OF GOD God lives DEEP within us His PRESENCE Is deep withing ourselves Some times He comes out of our Very darkness For God IS all light and love And NOT even darkness Can drowned him out “Great are the works Of the Lord Exquisite in all Their delights” Psalm 111:2 He(God) is also present In the people and things Outside of ourselves And we would be wise To be alert to this To be AWAKE TO THE PRESENCE OF GOD “Let all of creation REJOICE before the Lord” Psalm 96:13 ALL OF CREATION Has something of God's creation In it For that very reason We should TREASURE our earth And pay attention to its beauty The spring flowers The autumn leaves The summery dew of the green grass And even the cod cold days Of winter “You make known To me The path of life You fill me With joy IN YOUR PRESENCE With eternal pleasures At your right hand” Psalm 16:11 UNFORTUNATELY though We don't always take the time To notice the goodness Of what God has made HOW OFTEN We don't see the goodness Of other people Or the GOODNESS OF GOD In the world “Taste and see That the Lord is GOOD” Psalm 34:8 “For the Lord is GOOD And his love ENDURES FOREVER His faithfulness continues Through all generations” Psalm 100:5 Don't make this mistake Of MISSING God's presence In your life How much we miss When we don't notice The goodness of the people And the environment around us How much we miss When we don't notice- -God's presence That shines through In everything he has made Dear Lord-WE PRAY Help keep us from Sleepwalking through life And always help us BE AWARE OF THE PRESENCE OF GOD IN OUR LIVES In Jesus' name-amen Robert P.
