Week 1: Closer to God
Day 5 | Seeking God's Presence
Scripture
One thing I ask from the Lord, this only do I seek: that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life...
Psalm 27:4
The presence of God is where we find fullness of joy peace and rest. Throughout the Bible we see individuals like David Moses and Mary prioritize God's presence above all else. Dwelling in His presence isn't limited to a physical space; it's about living in constant awareness of Him in our daily lives and abiding in Him. Often we seek God for what He can do for us but true closeness comes when we simply desire to be with Him for who He is. It's seeking the face of God and not just His hand. It's in His presence that we are transformed.
Reflection
Are you seeking God's presence for who He is or only for what He can do? How can you create moments to dwell in His presence today?
Prayer
Lord, I long to dwell in Your presence and behold Your beauty. Teach me to seek You daily—not for what You can give but for who You are. Let Your presence fill my life and transform my heart. Amen.
