Recently, I was chatting with a group of friends about our inheritance as daughters of the King. As God’s adopted, we have an amazing inheritance. We have been granted access to His presence, we have been assured of His provision, and we can rest on His promises.

We know this to be true. We believe it. So, why are we not partaking of these amazing gifts we have been given?

Today, let’s take a look at ways we can experience God’s presence… (4 steps to His Presence)

How would you answer those questions? For so much of my life the answers were in sharp contrast to one another. Much of what I wanted, was not actually what I needed. I am not sure when I became aware that my wants weren’t really what I needed, but I do know that I would have told you I knew the difference. Have you ever thought about the fact that we don’t know what we don’t know?

This year has brought challenges for me. I won’t bore you with the details again, but I am now aware of what I want and want I need. They are no longer different. In fact, what I want is exactly what I need.

Do you ever ask yourself that question, What’s next for me? I certainly do. Matter of fact, this question and searching for the answer has been consuming most of 2021 for me. When Premier Designs / DVTD closed at the end of 2020, my heart broke. I had spent 23 years of my life building a business that I thought would last long past me. Oh, I had experienced some hard seasons, as all leaders do. I had even entertained the idea of leaving at one point, but

Yes, you love your family. Yes, you love your friends. You love Jesus. You even love your life. But… you know. You know that there is something you are missing. You want it – whatever it is, but you are not sure how to go about finding it.

Once we accept Jesus as our Savior, does it really matter how we live our lives? Does it matter how we spend our time? Do our priorities matter at all? I mean we have prayed the prayer and invited Him into our heart, so can’t we check that off our To Do list and just focus on living our best life? Does it matter if we read the Bible? Does it really matter if I have a relationship with Jesus? Does it matter?

You were created to have a relationship – a friendship – with God. The gospel calls us to trust Jesus as our Savior, surrender to Him as our King, and to value Him as our treasure. He is the Rock of our Salvation, the King of Kings and as Paul tells us in Philippians, nothing compares to knowing Him. God did not give His only begotten Son so that we could know all about Him. He sent Him so that we could know Him intimately. Jesus can be our Savior, our King and our Friend. So, how do we cultivate a relationship with Jesus?

There we saw the giants. Numbers 13:33 Do you know the story? Moses sent spies ahead to check out the promised land. He was anxious to hear about the people and their cities. He asked them to bring back some of the fruit of the land because it was the season of the first grape harvest. Joshua and Caleb saw God, but the spies saw giants. It’s all a matter of perspective. Do you need to shift your outlook?

Giants! The giants are everywhere! Giants represent our difficulties. They are our struggles, our problems and our fears.
