Awakening to God’s Presence
As morning breaks, our feet hit the floor, and the day’s chaos begins. It’s easy to overlook the profound truth that God’s presence surrounds us, dwells within us, and empowers us through the Holy Spirit. Embracing this reality can transform our daily lives.
A Fresh Perspective on Psalm 23
As I reflect on what it means to live with God’s presence, the timeless words of Psalm 23 take on new depth. God’s practicality shines through in this psalm, revealing the richness of His presence in our lives.
Supplied, Quieted, and Guided
In God’s presence, I am supplied with all I need for today (Psalm 23:1). He leads me to green pastures and quiet waters, calming the turmoil within and around me (Psalm 23:2-3). His presence restores my soul, forgiving, refreshing, and building me up (Psalm 23:3).
Fearless Trust
Even in the darkest valleys, God’s presence gives me courage, for He is with me (Psalm 23:4). His rod and staff comfort me, reminding me of His watchful care (Psalm 23:4). In His presence, I am nourished and protected, even in hostile environments (Psalm 23:5).
Overflowing Blessings
God’s presence anoints me with healing and love, filling my cup to overflowing, regardless of circumstances (Psalm 23:5-6). His goodness and mercy pursue me every day, securing my future (Psalm 23:6).
A Prayer to Start the Day
Lord God, before my feet hit the floor, awaken me to Your presence with me and in me. Help me engage with You, lean into Your guidance, and enjoy Your presence throughout the day. Remind me of Your Psalm of complete care, and may I rest in You. In Jesus’ name, I pray, amen.
