Seeking God’s Presence
Like the deer, I do find myself panting for God, longing for His presence. I’m hungry, thirsty for His love, direction, and comfort. I love the imagery of this Psalm which has stood the test of time: like a deer urgently panting for water.
Yet He is here.
The good news is that our God is not far off. From the very beginning, Christians have declared that the Creator is not only transcendent but immanent. In His transcendence, God is perfect, whole, other. This means we cannot grasp or tame Him, we cannot overpower or domesticate him. Yet God is also immanent: crucially, palpably present. Wherever we go, all we must do is lift our faces, hold out our hands, or take in a breath—and find Him here with us. God has promised that when we seek Him, we will find Him.
Today, step outside, into His Creation, and take a deep breath. Let your heart and mind seek for God, right here in the world He made.
He is here.
About this Plan
The heavens declare the glory of God . . . but are we listening? Our Creator has not left His creation. He invites us to meet Him right here, to learn about Him and find comfort in His presence. Whether you are in a season of joy or sorrow, life or death, God is here… right here. Join Catherine McNiel on a 7 day journey of awakening to God's presence.
