Day 10 Spending time in the presence of God.
James 4:8:
“Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you.”
Many believers brag about the length of time they have been Christians, the denomination they belong to, or the church they attend. However, our walk in Christ does not depend on any of these things. The real question is: how much of that time have you spent in the presence of God?
The church in and of itself does not change anyone, but if we have daily communion with the Lord, daily we will change. Some have been in church for years, while others have been there for months, but the new believers can be more mature than the older ones, because they are constantly seeking God’s presence.
We don’t become like Jesus by being disciplined, tithing or going to church on Sundays. All of these are good habits and we should practice them, but what changes us is a supernatural encounter, face to face, with the living God.
Knowing the Lord is to have an experience with Him; it is more than studying theology or hearing about Him from other people’s comments. If you are exposed to the presence of God, you will change. Today, God invites you to spend time in His presence. How will you answer?

Heavenly Father, I come to You recognizing that You are the only one who can change my life. I’m tired of living the same way! I’m tired of having an empty life! I need to be transformed into Your presence. Change me Jesus!
