Men's Monday Message: Practice His Presence

​Good morning brothers in Christ,

Here's a question to ponder.... How much of God's presence do you want in your life?

The quick answer is probably, "as much as I can get"... or "all the time". Do you agree?

I said the same, but this morning I felt the Holy Spirit challenge this quick response. 

"Not so fast" I felt in my spirit as He pressed me for a deeper, more thoughtful answer.

He will do that at times.

He will not allow us to respond to Him "off the cuff".

Ever experience that?

The Apostle Peter did when Jesus asked Him if he loved Him.

He did not want a quick "yes" but a response that carried the weight of a real answer.

So, He asked three times.

I think about how many times the Lord has to ask me something.... much more than He ought.

More of God's presence will require more from me... from you.

Think about it!

Strength and Honor, but Only for His Glory,
