God's presence is recognized through His Word and its effect on our spirit, bringing comfort, peace, and an inward assurance.
The realization of God's presence is profoundly linked to His Word. Scripture mentions that 'my sheep hear my voice,' indicating that a true believer recognizes God's communication through the Bible. Furthermore, the impact of His Word on our spirit—bringing joy, conviction, and comfort—serves as a sign of God's nearness. Additionally, a tender spirit that yearns for His presence indicates an active relationship, where believers desire not only knowledge of God but also the emotional and spiritual intimacy that comes from feeling His presence. Encountering His Word can lead to a transformative experience where the truths of Scripture resonate deeply within, making the believer acutely aware of God's active presence in their life.
