Have You Experienced God's Presence? If so, what did you (or what do you) experience? If you never have, do you believe God wants you to experience His Presence when you read the Scriptures?
CONSIDER IT: God is present with you. Right now. Do you believe that? Do you believe it is theory, or do you experience God's Presence as you go through your day?
God yearns to spend quiet moments with you and help you grow more and more aware of His Presence as you seek Him. Get into the habit of sitting in God's Presence, hearing His voice as He speaks through the Scriptures.
EXPERIENCE IT: "Come to Me with a teachable spirit, eager to be changed. A close walk with Me is a life of continual newness. Do not cling to old ways as you step into a new year. Instead, seek My Face with an open mind, knowing that your journey with Me involves being transformed by the renewing of your mind. As you focus your thoughts on Me, be aware that I am fully attentive to you. I see you with a steady eye because my attention span is infinite. I know and understand you completely: My thoughts embrace you in everlasting Love. I also know the plans I have for you; plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Give yourself fully to this adventure of increasing attentiveness to My Presence" -- Jesus Calling / Sarah Young
How eager are you to be changed? What makes you long for transformation?
What if anything, makes you uncomfortable with change?
