Dwelling in the presence of God

New International Version
Then the man brought me by way of the north gate to the front of the temple. I looked and saw the glory of the LORD filling the temple of the LORD, and I fell facedown.
Ezekiel 44:4
The glory of God was found as this man came to the temple at the north gate. So many people today think they have to go to church or go to a special meeting just to feel the presence of God. You can feel the presence of God wherever you invite Gods presence to dwell.
The glory of the Lord was so mighty that it caused the man to fall face down. He was soaking in the presence of God. There is mercy, grace, forgiveness, and deliverance where the glory of God dwells.
Spend some time in the presence of the Lord and fall face down and embrace His presence!

Fear of the Lord

To have the fear of the Lord which is reverence of the Lord is to begin to know the Lord. When you have reverence for something or someone you get to know that person or thing on an intimate level. A fooliah person will not care to know God intimately. A foolish person will not receive instruction to guide them through their life. Wisdom is acknowledging who God is, fear him, follow His ways and not your own. Our instructions may seem right, but it is important to know God, love and respect God and not be foolish and not listen and honor God. You may see the word and it meaning to be afraid or frightful, but this context is showing the reader to have fear of just beginning to know God and seeking His ways out. Knowledge of God will get you farther along in life, but destruction will come to the one that does not have to be afraid for his or her life, but have a deep knowledge of who God is and worship Him and him alone. He gave His life for you, so do not be foolish and acknowledge God with great reverence.
