"You make known to me the path of life; in your existence there is fullness of happiness; at your best hand are satisfaction forevermore" Psalm 16:11 "Where shall I go from your Spirit? Or where shall I run away from your presence? If I rise to paradise, you are there! If I make my bed in Sheol, you are there! If I take the wings of the early morning and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea, even there your hand will lead me, and your best hand shall hold me." Psalm 139:7 -10 "And he said, 'My presence will choose you, and I will provide you rest.'" Exodus 33:14 Center your understanding of encountering God around just looking for to know him.
In all your methods acknowledge him, and he will make straight your courses." Sayings 3:5 -6 Ask him to show you how to abide in him. He desires to make himself known to you all throughout your day. He desires to be included in everything you are doing! Absolutely nothing is too mundane for the Lord! His desire is to be with you.
God is love, and whoever abides in love abides in God, and God abides in him." 1 John 4:16.
The Bibles typically mention God's existence in human history. The most common Hebrew term for "presence" is panim [y, In'P], which is likewise translated "face," implying a close and personal encounter with the Lord. The Greek word prosopon [provswpon] has the same semantic variety. The Greek preposition enopion [ejnwvpion] likewise frequently appears; numerous other Hebrew and Greek words take place just a couple of times.
It may be something people fear. Adam and Eve's sinfulness drove them to conceal from the Lord in the garden of Eden ( Gen 3:8 ). God's holiness cast light on Isaiah's sinfulness ( Isa 6:5 ). Lots of people who came across God or his angel feared for their lives ( Judges 13:22; Luke 1:11 -12; 2:9 ).
As God displays his existence through his terrific power, the entire earth trembles ( Judges 5:5; Psalm 68:8 ). Incorrect gods likewise become powerless before him ( Isa 19:1 ). Another Point of View and trembling appertain actions prior to the One who controls all creation ( Jer 5:22 ). God's presence offers convenience in times of trouble or anxiety ( Joshua 1:5 ).
