Presence

God said to Moses: “All right. Just as you say; this also I will do, for I know you well and you are special to me. I know you by name.” ~ Exodus 33:17 (MSG)

The angel greeted Mary and said, “You are truly blessed! The Lord is with you.” ~ Luke 1:28 (CEV)

KEY IDEA:

When the Lord is with us we end up blessed.

PRAYER:

Teach me to be quiet today, Jesus. Forgive my attraction to the noisy flash of every passing fad and fancy instead of the favor your presence. Teach me to hear and to see your promised presence in every person you send my way, today and always. Amen. (Daily Texts, Mount Carmel Ministries edition)
