Exodus 20:18 Embrace the Presence of God Afar off People We need to have a clear understanding of who God is and maintain an awareness of Him in our daily lives. We must develop a proper fear of God, which draws us closer to Him and keeps us from following Him from a distance. Ascending People May we have a strong desire to ascend to a higher level of spiritual experience by engaging in the ministry of the church. We can truly feel the beauty of corporate worship only when we are willing to ascend to a higher level of spirituality. Abiding People God does not intend to satisfy us instantly; rather, He desires that we patiently abide in His presence to know Him and receive from Him. May the glory of God transform us both inside and outside.
