April 03, 2019: SOAP #3408:  Judges 17-18; Psalm 89; 2Corinthians 3

Scripture:  Psalm (NIV) 89:15 Blessed are those who have learned to acclaim you, who walk in the light of your presence, O LORD.
16 They rejoice in your name all day long; they exult in your righteousness.
17 For you are their glory and strength, and by your favor you exalt our horn.
18 Indeed, our shield belongs to the LORD, our king to the Holy One of Israel.

Observation:   Here is a blessing for those who recognize and draw attention to God’s presence.  Through their words of faith, and their acts of faith, they make His presence known.  People who hear what they say, and see what they do, recognize that God is present and active.

They are blessed because they “walk in the light of God’s presence.”  They live in the moment like they are actually in the presence of God.  And they really are!!!

Application:  I need to live like God’s mouth, God’s hands and feet.  I need to consider myself the suit of clothes that God is wearing.

Prayer:  Holy Spirit, guide my words and my actions to be a declaration of God’s presence.  Make your presence known through me.  May I be an avenue through which you can accomplish your will. Amen
