"I have set the Lord always before me, because He is at my right hand I shall not be moved ...You will show me the path of life; In Your presence is fullness of joy; at Your right hand are pleasures forevermore." Psalm 16 v 8 & 11 (NKJV)
This to me is an acknowledgement of how the believer in Christ can live in the abundance, peace and prosperity of the Almighty God, who has revealed Himself as Jehovah Shammah, "the Ever present One". God is always with us whether we feel Him there or not and as His chosen we can have continual fellowship with Him through Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit dwelling inside of us.
Are you ever faced with challenges, questions, concerns, problems and even good news? then I belief that God is the first one to run to. Everything we need for successful Christian living can be found in Jehovah Shammah - joy, wisdom, wholeness, protection and the burdenremoving-yoke destroying power of God. It is in His presence that there is fullness of JOY, where forgiveness, restoration, deliverance, healing, comfort and again WISDOM can be found.
It is in Him that we have our being and by whom we have the very things that can improve our situations and circumstances in life. His GRACE makes us realise that we can be accepted with no possibility of being rejected. As His righteousness we need to therefore accept it, live and walk in that grace which brings to us purpose, peace and joy. We really need to get to a point where we are expectant and excited with all of God's blessings; because if God is for us, who then can be against us - the world cannot curse you because the Almighty lives in you and is by your side always.
As we look to Jesus, it is through Him that our situations are turned around to bring amazing blessing into our lives. Eph 2 v 8 tells us 'For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is a gift of God.' Note therefore that fear, guilt, intimidation and condemnation has no place to stop us from getting up and going after God with all of our heart, and getting to a place God has for us and becoming what He wants us to be. We need to realise that we have not arrived but are moving onwards towards our destination in Him.
It is in Christ that we live and by Him we move and God has promised that 'He will not leave nor forsake us' - 'The Lord is our shepherd and we shall never be in lack'. Let us therefore come boldly before the throne of grace, look outside of ourselves -receive and belief in Jesus who is the Lord. The scripture in Phil 2 v 13 says 'for it is God who works in you both to will and to do for His good pleasure' We do not have to be striving, comparing, competing or try being something to out-do others but to relax in God who has forgiven us, empowered and qualified us in Christ.
It is my prayer that you may experience this presence of God in your life as He continue to reveal to you His being as Jehovah Shammah, the Ever-present One, who desires to be with Us. Pay attention to Him and practise His presence that we too can learn to walk with God in like manner as was said of Enock (Gen 5:24 & Heb 11:5). I pray the words of Collosians 1 v 9 - 23 (AMP) over your life always.
Be BLESSED and remember that God Loves you unique as you are, for His own purpose, therefore '....get Wisdom (skillful and godly Wisdom)! [For skillful and godly Wisdom is the principal thing.] And with all you have gotten, get understanding (discernment, comprehesion, and interpretation) Proverbs 4 v 7 (AMP)
