The presence of God is an incredible gift that can comfort us, empower us and give us strength in difficult times. The following Bible verses about the presence of God teach us about the many benefits of being with God. From Moses to the virgin Mary, each one encountered a powerful connection with God. In Exodus 3:2-6, Moses was tending his father-in-law's flock when he saw a burning bush that was not consumed by fire. He approached it and heard God speaking to him. This experience empowered Moses as he began his mission to lead Israel out of slavery in Egypt under God’s direction.  Elijah also had an incredible encounter with God in 1 Kings 19:9–13 where he met with God on Mount Horeb after fleeing from Jezebel's threat against him. While there, Elijah heard a great windstorm but then realized that “the Lord was not in the wind” and later found Him in “a still small voice." It was here that Elijah was comforted by God’s presence and gained strength and courage to continue his prophetic ministry.  Mary, Jesus’ mother, received an angelic visitation informing her she would become pregnant with the messiah (Luke 1:26-38). Through this experience she recognized that nothing is impossible with God. In Psalm 16:11, David states “You make known to me the path of life; you will fill me with joy in your presence, with eternal pleasures at your right hand.” David experiences the joy of the Lord when he is in God’s presence.   EVENT SATURDAY AT 6 PM  LOVE HONOR FOR Mr. "T" Tommy Boykins Mr. "T" "The Flying Clouds of Vredenburgh Alabama" LOVE HONOR FOR Mr. "T" Tommy Boykins Mr. "T" Morning Star Missionary Baptist Church 126 Angel Street Beatrice AL. 36425 Rev.
