Matthew 15:39
Image, if you will, how it felt to go home after such a day in the presence of the Lord Jesus. Healings began the events of the day, teaching was interspersed throughout to be sure, and the miraculous feeding cam towards the end. This would be a day you would long remember fondly. It would be one of those treasures in your memory that would shine for years to come. And, then, it was over. It was time to go home.
It is hard to overstate the feelings that this excites in us. We would long to stay there with Him forever. We would never want to leave. And yet, do we ever find ourselves feeling this way in our day? Do we find the fellowship with our brothers and sisters in Christ so appealing that we cannot wait to see them next Sunday? Do we leave the church house with the same reluctance that we might leave the side of the Lord Himself? Does our own personal time in devotions each day excite such feelings? The truth is, as those who belong to Christ, we have him with us at all times. But, an awareness of his presence will cause certain things to be all that much more precious to us.

Prayer: Heavenly Father, thank You so much for Your goodness to us. You have always known what we need better than we do. You know what a blessing the presence of Your Son is to us. He is our link to You, our daysman, as Job would put it. Having him in us, and by him having access to You, is the most wonderful blessing anyone could ever even ask for. It is so nice! You are so gracious to us! Thank You! In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ I pray and praise You, Amen.
