You have shown me the way of life,

and you will fill me with the joy of your presence.”

Acts 2:28


“Having the answers is not essential to living.

What is essential is the sense of God’s presence

during dark seasons of questioning.”

~ Ravi Zacharias

Ravi is right. (God bless this man's legacy, and ALL that he has done in the Lord's name).

God's presence is even more dear than he described, however. If we are to DELIGHT in thd Lord our God, and precious Father, Who delights in us, and rejoices over us with singing, We delight in just beinb in His presence.....no "reason" and not requesting anything, but to "seek His face", and that is because we DO love Him with all our hearts, souls, minds, and strength. Let us pray that THAT is our hearts desire above EVERYTHING else.

Everything AFTER that will just fall into place, peripherally, as we gaze on His precious and beloved face with "spiritual eyes", so to speak.

Thank you for posting this. It's a blessing on this cold-ish, overcast, breezy Tuesday afternoon, January 19, 2021.

This verse comes to mind: ".....the joy of the Lord is your strength".

(i miss my desk top computer....i'm thankful for this ipad, but using it is like learning a remote, obscure language. LOL! ) ^_^

Thank you for your great response to my posts.
You mentioned Ravi. I had what will probably be the high point in my Christian
life in the year 2000. Billy Graham had a worldwide, one-week evangelistic conference in Amsterdam, Holland. My wife and I were volunteers at the event. All the "who's who" in Christiandome were there. Ravi is just one of the many well known Christian leaders who I encountered.
And to think that we will be spending eternity with God...but also with other fellow believers like you and me. WOW!!!

Ravi did much for God, and God used him mightily. He used Billy Graham mightily as well. That IS a memorable event for you and your wife!!! i always remember to especially pray for God's messengers (pastors and ministers and preachers like Billy Graham and Ravi Zacharias, etc.) because Satan has them "targeted" BIG TIME, and wants them to "stumble" for all the world to see....especially now, as 2021 commences.

Thank you for your response and sharing about the event in 2000.

God bless you.
