His Presence

See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise, Redeeming the time, because the days are evil. (Ephesians 5:15-16)
As we go through our walk with God, we should aim to live in the present with Him.
Each moment we have is a gift, which can easily slip away from our grasp of awareness when we let ourselves wander away from His presence.
The most effective solution to this is by intentionally occupying these moments with His presence again.
In addition, we can take full advantage of each day by walking in the fullness of our calling. Did you know you have been hand chosen by God? You did not haphazardly end up on the earth, only to aimlessly wander around until death.
No, the Lord has given you a mission, and a divine inspired purpose for every single day of your life!
As His children, we are heirs of His kingdom and can walk with our heads held high in humble confidence because of who we are in Christ.
So I, the prisoner for the Lord, appeal to you to live a life worthy of the calling to which you have been called [that is, to live a life that exhibits godly character, moral courage, personal integrity, and mature behavior—a life that expresses gratitude to God for your salvation.] (Ephesians 4:1 AMP)
When you truly begin to grasp the revelation of who God is and the heavenly calling He’s placed over you, no day of your life can ever be boring again!
In order to fulfill your purpose, you must step into His presence daily.
Start each day by thanking Him. Look around you and search for the blessings He has already showered upon you. By praising Him with a grateful heart, your awareness of Him will increase, enabling you to fully operate in the calling He has placed over your life. Remember: the best time spent is time in His presence, where nothing is wasted. Amen.
I pray after reading this devotion, you are encouraged, just as I was, to search for the blessings He has already showered upon you. Great is thy faithfulness.
Have a beautiful and uplifting day in The Lord!
