Leader Devo

As I said goodbye to my daughter and watched her walk away, about to begin her first day at a new high school, I begged God, “Please be with her,” to which God instantly replied, “I am always with her.” I felt silly. I had asked God the wrong thing. I prayed once more, “God, help my daughter to know that You are with her today.”

How different would life be if we lived each day like we knew that God was with us, that His Holy Spirit dwells within us, that God walks where we walk and goes where we go? What would you share with God? Would you pray more expectantly? Would you worry less? Would you sing a little louder? Act a little bolder?

From the beginning it was always God’s intention to be a God who is near to us, a God who is accessible, a God we can approach. Read 1 Kings 8, paying attention to Solomon’s posture toward God as God draws near to His people and lets His glory fill the temple. How did Solomon react? How did he pray? How did he praise? What can we learn from Solomon’s prayer of dedication in verses 22– 53? How can we live fully aware of God’s presence dwelling within us?
