BE IN HIS PRESENCE AND TRUST HIM
BE IN HIS PRESENCE AND TRUST HIM
And David became more and more powerful, because the Lord Almighty was with him. —I Chronicles 11:9
If it seems good to you and if it is the will of the Lord our God… —I Chronicles 13
If you do this and God so commands… —Exodus 18:23
If I regard sin and baseness in my heart [that is, if I know it is there and do nothing about it], The Lord will not hear [me]… —Psalm 66:18
We have no power of our own. All our power and successes come from the Lord as we depend on Him. “If it seems good to you and if it is the will of the Lord our God…” If He is not in anything we do, then it will fail. Let our hearts be like that of the Psalmist— “May the favor of the Lord our God rest on us; establish the work of our hands for us— yes, establish the work of our hands” (Psalm 90:17). But I also need to have a clean heart before Him— “If I regard sin and baseness in my heart [that is, if I know it is there and do nothing about it], The Lord will not hear [me]…” I need to—
- Trust in His presence to make me what He desires and to do through me what He desires
- Discern what is good and the will of God
- Seek Him to establish the work of my hands
- Keep a clean heart and hate sin
Yes, Dear Father, may this be so by the power of Your Holy Spirit and in the authority of Your Son Jesus. May I live a life faithful to You… https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BoZd7ZXh9yY&list=RDBoZd7ZXh9yY&start_radio=1
