The Blessing of God’s Presence

Some days, even in a full house, you can feel alone. With five kids running around in sunny Florida, there are moments when quiet feels rare, but sometimes, loneliness still finds its way in. I’ve had those nights where I wondered, “Lord, are You really here?”

That’s why Christmas is so powerful to me. The manger reminds us of Emmanuel, God with us. Jesus came near, not to watch from afar but to walk beside us. When I slow down from the chaos of full schedules, I realize that His presence fills every space of my life, whether it’s family laughter, shared meals, or those much-needed silent moments before dawn.

“Life in the presence of God should be known to us in conscious experience. It is a life to be enjoyed every moment of every day.” - A.W. Tozer

God’s presence is not seasonal, it’s constant. And because of Christmas, I never face a moment alone.

Respond to God’s Word:

• Pause today and acknowledge God’s presence in your home.
• Thank Him for being Emmanuel, God with you.
