In His Presence

September 07, 2025

Glory and honour are in his presence; strength and gladness are in his place. 1 Chronicles 16:27

There is nothing more powerful than being in the presence of God. It does not make a difference what we are going through, when we find our way into the presence of God, nothing else matters. Everything can be breaking loose in our lives, but once we find ourselves in His presence, it feels like all the weight lifts off our shoulders. The Scripture reminds us that glory and honor are in His presence and strength and gladness are in His place. I encourage you today to remember that you will find glory and honor when you are in the presence of The Lord. You will discover His glory will be all around you like a shield protecting you from all hurt, harm, and dangers. In His presence you will find His honor, which will open doors you never thought would be opened to you. You will find strength when you enter His place, and once you enter the doors of His house, no matter how weak you were when you came in, you will be strengthened just by being in the house. You will find gladness in His house, and all those things that tried to weigh you down, will be lifted off of you, and you will be glad. Not only will you find strength and gladness, but you will find joy in His place. Joy that is unspeakable, and undeniable. No matter what you are going through do not take this Sunday off, but find your way to His house, and you will find you will be strengthened and glad you did. it is in His presence I will find everything I need, and no matter what I will fight to be in His presence. Once I am in His house, I know I will be strengthened and find gladness and joy. Since I will press my way into His presence and in His house, I have no doubt, "It's My Year To Get My Thing From My God!"

Prayer:

Lord, thank you for your presence in my life. I find everything I need in your presence. I find joy, peace, and love in your presence and I know that I will be strengthened when I am in your house. Let your glory shine on me and everyone connected to me today. I love you Lord. In Jesus Name Amen.
