Practicing the Presence of God
Scripture Foundation
Matthew 18:20 says, "For where two or three gather in my name, there am I with them." This verse reminds us that Jesus is always present with us, no matter where we are or what we're doing. Colossians 3:2-3 encourages us to "set our hearts on things above, where Christ is seated at the right hand of God." And Psalm 139:7-12 tells us that God's presence is not limited to specific locations or circumstances, but is a constant reality in our lives.
