God cannot be localized as Solomon discovered when he was dedicating the temple he had facilitated to put up in fulfilment of his father’s desire (I Kings 8:27). If God lives in the moon it could only be a possibility to the astronauts to see Him. If it in the sea only the aquatic could have an upper hand for they thrive best in such an environment.
If He had a price tag, the rich could have the whole of him and the poor at their mercy. What if He was in university? Your guess is as good as mine because illiterates could be ‘smelling’ Him from a distance. We can continue to imagine but let’s pause here and consider the text in psalm 84:10. David discovered that it is better to be with the Lord only for a day and the other days elsewhere are incomparable.
This presence of God means everything to us today as it was with Adam. God from the word go has been willing to be with a man if only the environment is right. This week since Sunday we have ‘swam’ in His presence and I know many can attest that though we went home late it was worth it. May the Lord receive praise for allowing us to have Him as the singer sang. In the presence of God even Saul prophesied (I Kings 19:24) to the amazement of many just as it has been this week.
We can all agree that the presence of God is not a place but an environment available to a humble and a contrite Spirit. Everybody can access His presence and even today you have a chance to be there at least for a day and it will make all the difference in your life. 09
