In His Presence

1 Chronicles 16: 23 Sing unto the Lord, all the earth; shew forth from day to day his salvation.

24 Declare his glory among the heathen; his marvellous works among all nations.

25 For great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised: he also is to be feared above all gods.

26 For all the gods of the people are idols: but the Lord made the heavens.

27 Glory and honour are in his presence; strength and gladness are in his place.

28 Give unto the Lord, ye kindreds of the people, give unto the Lord glory and strength.

29 Give unto the Lord the glory due unto his name: bring an offering, and come before him: worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness.

Show forth His salvation every day and sing praise unto His Glory.  There are many gods and idols formed by mankind; not only religious ones; but also how many make idols of possessions, money, position in life, appearances, society, family, friends, and anything that we place before Him.  What offering could be enough?  So, I must give Him my life.  Turn off the TVs, set the alarm a little earlier and sit in His presence.  There is where you will find strength and gladness as you are filled with His Glory and Honor.  Then in a spirit of humble love and devotion; worship Him with the beauty of a holy life, offering all that you do up to Him.  As much as is in you serve the Lord.  1 Corinthians 15:  56 The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law.

57 But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

58 Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.  How will you have the strength to battle against sin, if you never take the time to quietly sit in His presence?
