The Daily Grind ☕️ - A Simple Approach to Enjoying God’s Presence

Jeanne Guyon was a French mystic in the 1600s. She was imprisoned for her belief that believers could enjoy a direct, personal experience of God, which was seen as a challenge to the Church’s authority.

While serving 25 years in confinement, she found that dwelling in the Scriptures and experiencing the presence of God gave her a true freedom that was beyond the prison walls of the Bastille.

Here is her approach to experiencing God. Set aside time to experiment with these steps to enjoy His presence:

a. Use a passage of Scripture to help you focus on God’s presence.

b. Read the words until you are able to focus on God’s presence.

c. Keep your heart and mind fixed on the presence of God.

d. When your mind wanders, come back to the passage to refocus.

If it was illegal to approach God and enjoy Him through the Scriptures, how many of us would be convicted and imprisoned for our commitment to God and His Word? Enjoy God enjoying you. - PJ
