Premium on His Presence
When we put a premium on something, we regard or treat it as particularly important, valuable, or precious. When value is placed on a thing, one's attitude to that thing is one of Esteem.
Psalm 16:8 I have set the Lord always before me; Because He is at my right hand I shall not be moved.
Psalm 139:7-12 Where can I go from Your Spirit? Or where can I flee from Your presence? 8. If I ascend into heaven, You are there; If I make my bed in hell, behold, You are there. 9. If I take the wings of the morning, And dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea, 10. Even there Your hand shall lead me, And Your right hand shall hold me. 11. If I say, "Surely the darkness shall fall on me," Even the night shall be light about me; 12. Indeed, the darkness shall not hide from You, But the night shines as the day; The darkness and the light are both alike to You.
The objective of this write-up is to create a consciousness of God's presence with a Believer.
Let's look at some scenarios.
Case 1: Joshua takes over from Moses. Let's look at Prophet Moses' Resume
Raised as a Prince. Confronted Pharaoh. Marshalled the Exodus. Author of the first Five books in the Bible (the Pentateuch) Facilitator of the Twelve Plagues manifestation in Egypt. Red Sea parting, drying of the sea-land, and Closing the sea. Receiving the 10 Commandments. Meekest Man alive. Speaking with God face to face. Manna deliverables. Rock pouring out water. Stopping the snake bite. Ground opening to swallow some people, ecetera.
Now, Joshua is taking over from this same Man. I think it is very understandable why he would be feeling inadequate. Moses' portfolio is loaded - Moses na Senior Man. We see something amazing though, during God's Charge to Joshua in Joshua 1. God was giving Joshua the 411, in vs 5, he said "as I was with Moses, so I will be with you. I will not leave you nor forsake you." What God used to furnish his directive of being strong and courageous to Joshua was to let him know that He(God) is with him wherever he(Joshua) goes (Vs 9).
And boy did Joshua do his own exploits by God.
That consciousness of God's presence with him induced him with strength and Courage.
God is present in situations where we are weak.
Case 2: Joseph is finally stabilizing in a strange land. He is doing well abroad. He is in charge of all that his boss has, and because of Joseph, the Lord's blessing was upon Potiphar's House (Gen 39:4-6). Finally, Mrs Potiphar cast her eyes upon Joseph and kept putting pressure on him day after day (Gen 39 vs 10 NLT) but what kept Joseph through this season was his Consciousness that God was present with him in real-time.
That consciousness taught him to say No to Ungodliness despite the pressure.
God is present with us even in temptation
