Maintain the presence of God
Psalm 27:4
One thing have I desired of the Lord, that will I seek after
that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the Lord, and to inquire in His temple.

It was the Psalmist’s desire to dwell in the house of the Lord forever, to behold His beauty and to inquire in His temple.

I believe in simple terms the Psalmist wanted to maintain the presence of God in his life always.

If we want to maintain the presence of God in our lives now, because of the work Jesus did on the cross, we do not necessarily have to go to the temple as they did in the old testament.

The Holy Spirit comes to live in our hearts as God’s representative when we accept the gift of salvation.

When we want to maintain the presence of God in our lives, what we have to do is to keep praising , worshipping and thanking God with our mouth when we can and in our heart and mind when we cannot sing out loud

The bible says
God inhabits the praises of His people.
And there is a song that says:

Higher, higher, higher
When His praises go up
His glory comes down.

Dear student, worker and minister of God:
-Learn as many songs of praise, worship and thanksgiving as you can
– Learn to worship with your mouth and in your heart and mind.
– Be constantly in praise and worship mode

Psalm 98:1 says
Oh sing unto the Lord a
new song; for He hath done marvelous things…

The fact that you sleep and wake up each day is a blessing and a miracle and you have to thank Good God always for that.

Suggestions for success
1. When you are constantly in God’s presence , you get closer to Him and you are able to overcome challenges and obstacles easily
2. Reflect on your daily activities. Find free times you can use to soak in the presence of God through praise and worship

Prayer
Meditate on the words of this song

In your presence, I am content
In your presence, I am content
In your presence there is joy, expressions of your love and Revelations of your power and might
In your presence I can bring
A love song offering
I am in the presence of my king
Amen
