God’s name: YHWH Shammah: I AM There
God is really present with us.
Do you believe that, not just intellectually but with your life?
How many of us live as though God is with us all the time?
How would I treat my wife / my kids / my coworkers if God was standing there watching?
Do we experience his presence?
Better yet: How do we experience God’s presence?
Corinne and I experienced God’s presence in a powerful way in 2019 at the EFCA One National Conference.
Biblical Survey: God Is There
YHWH Shammah appears in Ezek 48:35, when God makes a promise: he will be there.
God is there…
God is there with Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden (Gen 3:8).
God is there with Moses in the burning bush (Exod 3:4-6).
God is there in the wilderness with the Israelites in the pillars of cloud and fire (Exod 13:21-22).
God is there in the desert when the Israelites had no water (Exod 17; 1 Cor 10:4).
God is there with Solomon when he built the temple (2 Chron 7:1-3).
God is there, in the flesh, through Jesus—God with us (Heb 1:1-3a).
God is there, within us, through the Holy Spirit—God in us (Acts 2:38-39).
God will be there in the new creation, in the New Jerusalem—promise kept (Rev 21:1-4).
God is there, with you, in you.
He’s available to you.
He cares about you.
In the New Jerusalem, not only God will be there, but you will be there, too, with him—if you give your life to Jesus.
How do we experience God’s presence?
Look for God (Jer 29:12-14a).
Look for God in the ordinary—every day, everywhere, in everything.
Look for God in the usual—the places you’d expect to find him: prayer, the Word, the church.
Look for God in the quiet—the disappearing places you must intentionally create.
Practicing the Presence of God
Read Psalm 139:1-18 (The Message).
Sit in silence.
