O when will You come unto me?',

Back to The Pastor's Evening Visit

"O when will You come unto me?" Psalm 101:2

The presence of the Lord—is the heaven of His people. They cannot be satisfied or happy without it. He is . . .
the object of their love,
the source of their enjoyment,
the centre of their desires,
and the life of their souls!

If He is present—then all is well.
If He is absent—then nothing can yield them satisfaction: 
they are restless, 
their souls can find no repose, 
their desires can find no rest. 

The reasons are many: 
in His favour is their life;
in His fellowship is happiness and peace;
in His presence is fullness of joy, safety, rest, refreshment and victory. 

His presence . . .
promotes their sanctification,
enlarges their hearts, and
ripens the fruits of grace. 

Reader, have you enjoyed the presence of God?
Do you enjoy it now? 
Can you find any substitute for it? 
Are you crying with David, 
"My soul follows hard after You!" or, 
"O when will You come unto me!" 

If you are careless about God's presence—you are a stranger to it.
