The Presence of the Lord

Nehemiah 1-2; Psalms 133; Luke 22

“How good and pleasant it is when brothers live together in unity! It is like precious oil poured on the head…”

Psalm 133:1, 2

“Praise the Lord, all you servants of the Lord who minister by night in the house of the Lord. Lift up your hands in the sanctuary and praise the Lord. May the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth, bless you from Zion.”

Psalm 134

There is a direct connection between God’s people, God’s servants, worshiping him together, and our unity. We are unified in God’s presence, but not primarily through similar thinking or team building. God’s presence is the center of every kingdom mission team. The anointing oil of the Spirit is poured out on God’s servants in his presence. God’s lessons are received in his presence. There is no greater resource for the people of God than God’s presence. Like Moses, let us determine not to leave his presence.

“Lord Jesus, thank you for your presence. You are life; you give unity; you pour out your Spirit and bless through your presence. Thank you.”
