Wait...did God move?

If one of the traits of God is that he is omni present...Why is it that we as Christians are constantly going in and out of his presence? Is it because he moved? Or took his presence away from us? When we feel the glory of God in a worship service or a prayer meeting does that mean God just came into the room? Well if the theological concept of God's omni presence is true (I believe it is) then God was there already. So what changed?

I believe as a Christan I have the ability to constantly live my life in the glorious presence of God. Do I do it? No....Why? Because it's a costly venture. It takes me giving up my life for the life God intended for me. Giving up my thoughts for God's thoughts. It requires consistent repositioning of myself into God's presence. Because when I feel God and when you feel God it doesn't mean that he's moved to come hang out with you. It means that you and I have moved to go hang out with him!

This is the reason a consistent prayer life is important. This is the reason it's important to worship every day and read God's word every day. Because we reposition ourselves to access something that's available to us 24/7...God's glorious presence. I am determined to become a person who can live life in God's presence. In his presence is fullness of joy and peace! In his presence we are empowered to be and do all God dreams for us to be and do! The moments of sacrifice, the times of giving up what the flesh would prefer to do will pale in comparison to the glory of what our lives could be if we would learn to live in his presence and walk in his power! Let's go for it...!
