- Dwell in his Presence
Psalm 140:13
Surely the righteous shall give thanks unto thy name:
The upright shall dwell in thy presence.
I am justified by faith because of Christ; so I am one of the righteous and the upright; the righteous give thanks to the Lord and the upright dwell in the Presence of God. Giving thanks is what Christians constantly do; they live a life of thanksgiving. Dwelling in the Presence of God is a promise from God for the Christian.
When God justifies me He places me within His Presence while He lives within my heart and we truly dwell together. Living with God is dwelling in His presence. This is a comfortable, wonderful, and safe place to dwell. We are always in and near the presence of God, but it is helpful for us to consciously and deliberately come into His presence and become mindful and aware of where we dwell. We have this promise of the Lord; we just need to remember it is so and walk accordingly by faith.
Only the righteous may enter the presence of a holy and righteous God. For Christ’s sake God has granted us His own righteousness and His very life so that believers have every right and promise that there we are—with God and God with us.
