IN HIS PRESENCE

Last Saturday night, I went out for nice dinner in kuching with friends. The food in Kuching is so good! I love the Laksa in Kuching. I also love the dessert in Kuching! There are so many nice places to eat to Kuching. I wish we have this kind of food in Australia! I went on two days retreat with friends at Santubong Kuching Resort. I had a great time swimming on the beach and playing games and eating seafood. Good to relax on the public holidays (Gawai Harvest Festival) in Kuching.

In His Presence

In His presence, I will find His love.
In His presence, I will find His purpose.
In His presence, I will find His peace
In His presence, I will find His joy
In His presence, I will find His anointing
Where would I be without His presence?

Again and again, I am reminded to seek the glory of God. I need more of His presence in my life. God often uses situation in our lives to remind us that we need His presence. We were created to have communion with God. Just like trees need rain, we need God to live a prospering lives. Without God our lives will be in chaos. We will have the wrong focus or motivation in life. This is one of my favourite Psalm in the bible. It talks about the blessings of seeking the presence of God.

Psalm 84 (New International Version)

1 How lovely is your dwelling place,
O LORD Almighty!

2 My soul yearns, even faints,
for the courts of the LORD;
my heart and my flesh cry out
for the living God.

3 Even the sparrow has found a home,
and the swallow a nest for herself,
where she may have her young—
a place near your altar,
O LORD Almighty, my King and my God.

4 Blessed are those who dwell in your house;
they are ever praising you.
Selah

5 Blessed are those whose strength is in you,
who have set their hearts on pilgrimage.

6 As they pass through the Valley of Baca,
they make it a place of springs;
the autumn rains also cover it with pools. [b]

7 They go from strength to strength,
till each appears before God in Zion.

8 Hear my prayer, O LORD God Almighty;
listen to me, O God of Jacob.
Selah

9 Look upon our shield, [c] O God;
look with favor on your anointed one.

10 Better is one day in your courts
than a thousand elsewhere;
I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God
than dwell in the tents of the wicked.

11 For the LORD God is a sun and shield;
the LORD bestows favor and honor;
no good thing does he withhold
from those whose walk is blameless.

12 O LORD Almighty,
blessed is the man who trusts in you.

May you be encouraged to seek more of the presence of God through reading this Psalm. Let us seek God today for we are design to commune with the living God.
