Presence of the Lord

When I was a child I never thought I would see the year 2014. It seemed to be so far into the future. I couldn't picture myself almost 50 years old either. When I was 10 years old I just KNEW 30 was old because my father was 30 years old, and if my father was 30 years old then 30 surely was old.

As I grew up and became a Bride to my husband and Mother and now a Grandmother, I can see how fast time flies. But this is nothing compared to spending eternity in the presence of the Lord. That's right. In the very PRESENCE OF GOD.

Imagine being able to look om the face of God. Moses was the only human being that lived in the flesh that even came close to seeing the glory of God. God said that Moses couldn't see His face or Moses would die. But because Moses asked God said, "Hide yourself in the cleft of the rock and I will pass by, you can look on my back." Moses saw the glory of God from the backside of the Lord. Now imagine not having to HIDE your face from the glory of God.

When you surrender to the Lord, and let Him guide your life and be WILLING to step out and do and say what the Lord tells you to do, oh, the feeling of glory. God will bring down His glory to you. You do not have to be in a church service to feel the presence of the Lord, but it sure is much better.

Spending time with God with other people and alone...what more can you ask for? I mean really? Like that song says, I can only imagine what it will be like,when I walk by Your side. I have been blessed with a very good imagination, but I seriously don't think I can even come close to imagining  the awesomeness of the Lord.
