Summary

Realise the joy of living as God dwells among his people – Lead a divinely inspired life through our podcast episode.

Introduction

For those who were Christians fighting on our behalf, particularly during the two world wars of the twentieth century, there must have been times when they were comforted by the sense of God’s presence with them – in the trenches, in the aircraft and boats, at the lookout points, around the decision-making tables.

As we dive back into Revelation 21:1-7, focusing on the theme of God dwelling among his people, we see that in this passage, we are reminded of the ultimate hope we have as believers – the promise of God’s presence.

“God Dwells Among His People” – A Powerful Declaration

Revelation 21:3 says, ‘ I heard a loud shout from the throne, saying, “‘Look, God’s home is now among his people! He will live with them, and they will be his people. God himself will be with them.'” This is a powerful declaration that brings immense joy to our hearts. It reminds us that God desires to be in a close and intimate relationship with his people.

The Joy of God’s Presence

When we think about the joy of God’s presence, we can find comfort and assurance. In his presence, we experience love, peace, and a deep sense of belonging. We are reminded that we are never alone, for God is always with us. His presence brings healing to our brokenness, strength to our weakness, and hope to our despair.

As we reflect on this truth, let us consider the impact it has on our lives. How does knowing that God dwells among his people change the way we live? How does it influence our relationships, our decisions, and our priorities? Take a moment to ponder these questions and allow the Holy Spirit to speak to your heart.

May today be filled with the joy of God’s presence. Let us seek him wholeheartedly, knowing that he is near. May his presence guide us, comfort us, and transform us. And may we be a reflection of his love and grace to those around us.

Reflection Question:

How can you cultivate a greater awareness of God’s presence in your daily life?
