Allow God's Presence

Revelation 3:20 states,
"Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with him, and he with me."

Many times we hear this verse when the sermon is in regards to salvation. But what about us who already believe? I believe this verse speaks loudly to us as well.

God knocks on the door to my heart daily. It is my choice to let him in. God speaks to my heart daily, but again, it is my choice on whether I listen or not. How wonderful it is to answer, "YES!", to God. "Yes I will open the door and yes I will listen today." When God is invited in, He showers us with His presence. It is His undeniable presence that begins to lead our lives everyday. His presence puts away conventionalism, and comfort goes out the window. His presence lights our fire and brings us straight to His table. It is only in His presence that we do things that we could not, would not, and do not do on our own.

Only by opening the door. Only by listening. Only one answer.

What is your answer today?
Is God calling you out of your comfort zone?
Is God challenging you to open the door?

It's time to eat with Jesus...the only truly fulfillment of your day.
