There is a deep spiritual hunger in all of our hearts that can only be satisfied by the presence of God himself. The presence of God satisfies our deepest spiritual longings. Adam and Eve lost this sense of His presence through their sin. Thereafter, the presence of God was not known as it was before.

God is holy. He is all-powerful. We cannot take his presence for granted. It is only through the cross and resurrection of Jesus that a way into his presence and the gift of the Holy Spirit living within you is made possible. In each of the passages for today we see something of the awesome power of His presence.
