Selected Notes
Volume 1 Number 24, “Sensing His Presence” September 19, 2018

In 2008 on April 25th and 26th Karen spoke at the ladies’ retreat of the First Baptist Church of Lagrange, Ohio. Last week and now again today I am happy to share a couple of the things that she wrote and shared with the ladies. Men, these things are good for us as well.

Karen was speaking on our perspective and how we view self and our situations. It is so important to view everything as one who belongs to the Lord and is walking with Him. Here is one of the verses she used in this retreat.

“My voice shall Thou hear in the morning, O LORD; in the morning will I direct my prayer unto Thee, and will look up” (Psalm 5:3).

Karen wrote: As a believer, we will not face God as the Judge nor will we experience His wrath. Praise the Lord! However, along the “road of life” we will have daily opportunities to sense His presence through:

1. His grace (Ephesians 2:8,9; 1 Corinthians 3:10).
2. His greatness (She then briefly refers to several of the events found in the book of Exodus and concludes with the word “Wow!”)
3. His goodness (Psalm 34:7-9).
4. His glory (Exodus 24:17; Acts 7:55-56).

Michael’s observation: I would love to share the material with you that she had in addition to her main points for this ladies’ conference. But suffice it to say, today I want to be thankful for His grace, bow before His greatness, celebrate and appreciate His goodness and anticipate seeing His glory. Friends, I want to sense His presence. How about you?
