Are You Open To His Presence
Now it was told King David, saying, “The Lord has blessed the house of Obed-Edom and all that belongs to him, because of the ark of God.” So David went and brought up the ark of God from the house of Obed-Edom to the City of David with gladness. 2 Samuel 6:12
Obed-Edom made room for the presence of God, and everything connected to him was blessed. God still desires to dwell with His people today. No matter your current condition, God yearns for a relationship with you. He is not looking for perfection; He is looking for hearts willing to welcome Him fully. Sometimes we invite God into only the comfortable areas of our lives while keeping certain rooms of our hearts closed. Yet true intimacy with God begins when we surrender every area to Him.
The presence of God is not meant to be a Sunday experience alone. It is meant to fill our homes, shape our conversations, guide our decisions, and bring peace into our daily lives.
Prayer for today: Lord, thank You for sending Your Son to redeem me so that I might find myself in my rightful relationship with You. Lord, I invite You into every area of my life. Let my heart become a dwelling place for Your presence. Teach me to walk closely with You each day. Amen.
