Genesis 32:30 And Jacob called the name of the place Peniel: for I have seen God face to face, and my life is preserved.

I can think of no greater call than to know Him, to stand before Him and worship Him with all my heart. I want to walk each day living that motto. I will read them, memorize them, meditate on them, and put all of my heart into them. So today I have taken those two verses as my motto. And my soul must not be lifted up to idols, there is only Jesus. My heart must be pure, I need to purify my motives, my feelings and desires. Who can ascend up to the Lord? My hands must be clean, I must break free from these sins that entagle me. That’s why today I came across the Psalm up above. I’ve written a post about Holiness, and I believe it to be so true, yet I cannot get myself there. I keep coming back to the verse in Matthew that says “blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God”. I’ve given up lots of sleep, free time, and my desires. I think the humility I’ve had from such struggles draws Him near. That’s part of why I believe it is His presence, because peace follows the realization of Him. Just a presence, a sort of pressure upon my mind. As I write, his presence or maybe just a slight anointing is there. In one way I look at it as being under an attack as I’m having so much more trouble than usual, so maybe that’s a good sign, that the enemy is concerned.Įither way, I have found that even through this, I’ve been feeling the presence of the Lord more. I find myself just suddenly slipping and kicking myself immediately afterward. I’ve had a couple areas where I’ve falling back into sins I’m struggling to get away from, pride being one of them. I’ve had a bit of pride knocked out of me lately. Who may ascend into the hill of the Lord? And who may stand in His holy place? He who has clean hands and a pure heart, who has not lifted up his soul to falsehood and has not sworn deceitfully. – Psalm 24:3-4
