"Declare His glory among the nations, His wonders among all peoples....Say among the nations, 'The Lord reigns....' The heavens declare His righteousness, and all the peoples see His glory." (From Psalm 96, 97)
If you read Psalms 96 -100 you will see that the psalmist is not just addressing Israel or the Church, "....all the peoples see His glory." Jesus Christ is Lord of all, not just Israel and the Church. His presence is not confined to great worship gatherings, prayer meetings, and teaching conferences. One song says He is, "on the African plain," and yes, even in that hostile work place.
Church, do not limit The Living Triune God and His glorious Presence to Church gatherings. That can lead to the terrible sense of loneliness, forgottenness, abandonment when you are not with other Believers. "I am with you always," means no matter the wheres and whens and whos of our lives.
Father, in Jesus' Name, I thank You that wherever You "are" there I am also. Amen.

When Peter, an 18 year old Norwegian, "heard the call to evangelize China, on that day he not only emptied his wallet into the collection plate, but included a small note with the words, 'and my life.'"
