"For Christ is not entered into the
holy places
made with hands,
which are the figures of
the true;
but into heaven itself, now to
appear in the presence
of God for us."
Hebrews 9:24
God
Still Signals His Presence
Many
people believed in Jesus when He gave
sight to
the blind and when He fed a large crowd
with a
handful of food.
These
and other signs signaled God's presence in the world
in the
Person, Jesus Christ.
"Thou wilt show me the path of life:
in thy presence is fullness of joy;
at thy right hand there are
pleasures for evermore."
Psalm 16:11
This is
just one select verse in the Bible
speaking
of God's presence during Biblical times.
Today,
God still signals His presence among us.
In
1Corinthians Chapter 13,
Paul
writes of faith, hope and charity.
What
miraculous signs these are of God's
ever-abiding presence!
Paul
also tells us that the greatest of these is Love.
Love
God, for He first loved us.
"Likewise, I say
unto you,
there is joy in the
presence of the angels of God
over one sinner that
repenteth."
Luke 15:10
If a
woman and her neighbors delight in recovering
a
solitary coin (15: 8,9),
and a
shepherd takes joy in rescuing a single sheep (4,5),
how much
more praiseworthy is the salvation of a sinner?
While
some portray God as impersonal or aloof
from
human affairs,
Jesus
here teaches His concern for every individual.
God is
forever signaling His presence on earth.
As we
see miracles, signs and wonders,
let us
remember the greatest miracle ~
the one
of Love that God forgives us for Jesus' sake.
By His
presence through the power of the Holy Spirit,
we see
them! . . . we live them!
"Glory and honor are in his
presence;
strength and gladness are in his
place."
1Chronicles 16:27
May God
bless you all as you rejoice in the hope and glory
of God's
presence each and every day.
