God's presence is a Gift and we should cherish that

God's presence is a Gift and we should cherish that. in our lifetime we receive gifts many gifts and we cherish them but do we cherish the Greater Gift as we should ? we are called to be good stewards and our body is the temple of the Holy Spirit .
a person with a new car cherishes it, they take care of it keep it clean and keep the car tuned up to keep it running right, put gas in it when it is running on empty etc.. because they cherish and treasure it.
do we cherish and treasure the Temple of the Holy Spirit as much as we do temporal earthly things ? when we are running on empty when we are weak and our faith seems to be being swallowed up by lifes circumstances do we feed our faith ? if we have food to eat we make sure we don't go hungry , if we have heat we make sure we don't go cold . we check the weather before going outside if its hot we dress for it if its cold we dress for it . so we take care of things physically but what about spiritually ?
if we look at the circumstances and we see a battle do we spiritually dress for it or just get overwhelmed and say no way that looks too hard and isolate ourselves ? don't lose sight of your destination ! when we look and see it is cold and the weather is bad outside that doesn't stop us from moving forward with the day we dress for it and persevere through it and do what needs to get done. but too often we don't cherish and treasure our spiritual well being the same way that we do the physical .
if our faith gets distracted consumed and swallowed up then we end up walking by sight and sitting paralyzed from spiritually moving forward . it might be a battle to persevere and endure but it takes spiritual preparation just like it how it takes physical preparation to get ready to go out and move forward with the day. when a snow storm hits unexpectedly that doesn't stop most from getting out and going to work , why ? because they prepare for it !
Faith, prayer ,the Living word of God , patience , trust , praise, worship that is our spiritual preparation that determines us to keep standing to persevere and endure. we know the scripture Greater is He who is in us than he that is in the world and we are overcomers by the Blood of the Lamb and the word of our testimony but are we living it ? sometimes we have enough faith to believe those scriptures to be true in others lives and in the midst of someone else's circumstances but the true test of faith and belief is when it comes time for it to be true in our lives and our current circumstances .
I have been through things where it was so easy to encourage someone else and so easy to believe for them to persevere endure and overcome but yet in the midst of my own circumstances I couldn't encourage myself why? because sometimes we get too caught up in the circumstances . Peter walked on water while His focus faith and trust was in Jesus , peter didn't begin to sink until he looked at the storm

sit at the table the Lord has prepared

Sit at the table that the Lord has prepared for you in the presence of your enemies . The Lord has peace that surpasses all understanding that He is going to fill you with afresh.. The Lord is going to anoint you with fresh oil. Your season of silence is at it's end and it's time to speak it's time to write it's time to fight it's time time to war. Arise shine for thy light is come and the glory of the Lord is risen upon thee.

In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God

Daniel 7:10 A fiery stream issued and came forth from before him: thousand thousands ministered unto him, and ten thousand times ten thousand stood before him: the judgment was set, and the books were opened.

Psalm 68...
