Psalms 24 - Experiencing God's Presence

3 Who may go up the Lord's mountain?
Who may stand in his holy place?
4 {The one who} has clean hands and a pure heart
and does not long for what is false or lie when he is under oath.
5 {This person} will receive a blessing from the Lord
and righteousness from God, his savior.
6 This is the person who seeks him,
who searches for the face of the God of Jacob.
Psalms 24:3-6 (GW)


Reflection of B:

People, including Christians, often say that they cannot feel God. In the above Psalm we learned that there are criteria in experiencing God's presence. They are:
- clean hands
- pure heart
- does not like falsehood
- does not lie through his nose
- seeks God
- searches for God

Therefore, if we cannot feel God's presence we need to check ourselves and ask if we have done the opposites of these things.


Dear Lord,
Thank You for showing me how to experience Your presence. Search and cleanse me that I may have clean hands and pure heart in all I do, say, and think. Keep me close in Your presence, Lord.
In Jesus' most precious name I pray. Amen.
