James 4:10 Humble yourselves in the presence of the Lord, & He will exalt you. Psalm 95:2 Let us come before His presence with thanksgiving, Let us shout joyfully to Him with psalms. Psalm 16:11 You will make known to me the path of life; In Your presence is fullness of joy; In Your right hand there are pleasures forever. Ex 33:15 Then he said to Him, If Your presence does not go with us, do not lead us up from here. — Just to understand the importance of the presence of the Lord! If God truly knows our every thought & sees our every move why would we not care more about what He thinks than those that we tend to focus on? Sin & an unwilling heart to give Him control always drives away His presence! But when we get to the end of self & come to a willingness to give Him control over our lives we will find the true joy of His presence! An overflowing of Him always overwhelms the soul & brings in the joy of the Lord! Love Mel
