THE POWER OF GOD'S PRESENCE

THE POWER OF GOD'S PRESENCE


Today is the first Sunday
In ADVENT and the beginning of
“PUSH & HURRY” and “HURRY & SCURRY” season


We need to RELY on the-
THE POWER OF GOD'S PRESENCE
To keep us settled and to keep us
At PEACE


This season has a way of
KNOCKING us off center


“GOD IS FAITHFUL...........” 1 Corinthians 1:9


Yes we have schedules=we have
Commitments=it is easy
To let deadlines get us out
Of whack


Let us entrust EVERY single thing
To God's PRESENCE=to RELY on
The power of God's presence=to keep us
In balance=and to keep our PRIORITIES
STRAIGHT


GOD AND FAMILY are number one


“Now this I KNOW:
The Lord gives VICTORY
To his anointed


He ANSWERS
From his heavenly sanctuary


With the victorious POWER
Of his right hand” Psalm 20:6


“But God made the earth
By his POWER;


He founded the world
In his wisdom
And stretched


Out the heavens
By his understanding” Jeremiah 10:12


“But you will receive POWER
When the HOLY SPIRIT-
Comes on you


And you will be my WITNESSES
In Jerusalem
And in all
Judea and Samaria


And to the ends
Of the earth” ACTS 1:8


YES=the POWER of
GOD'S PRESENCE
Makes all the difference
In this world


Makes all the difference
In our lives


God's presence gives us PEACE
Even in this hectic
Time of the year


We WILL try to go slower
But sometimes it
Will be difficult
To do so


When your pace speeds up
Give yourself to GOD'S CARE
And REST in his presence


“SURELY you
Have granted him UNENDING BLESSINGS
And made him glad


With the JOY
Of your presence” Psalm 21:6


Dear Lord=help us REST
In the POWER of your PRESENCE
Particularly this ADVENT SEASON


In the names of Jesus=and HIS HEAVENLY FATHER
