Sometimes the most uncomplicated, subtle words can swing the meaning of a biblical Truth almost 180*. Michael points out such a wording in today’s writing.

DAY 364

           

With Him Or In Him

For in Him we live and move and exist. As even some of your own poets have said, “For we also are His offspring.” --Acts 17:28

A friend of mine was asked where he was with the Lord. He responded, “I am in Denver.” We laughed when we talked of it, but what he said was really quite true. I have often been asked, “How much time do you spend with the Lord each day?” It is a false concept to think that we are “spending time with the Lord,” and therefore confining His presence to a time and a place. It is much more accurate to say that we are spending time in the Lord. This is a great secret. The presence of God is not something that we must search after. Psalm 139:7, “Where can I go from Thy Spirit? Or where can I flee from Thy presence?” The presence of God is simply something that we acknowledge by faith. We live in His presence, we enjoy His presence, and He is forever near, as near as the words in our mouths. Today, all day, we are in Him!

What a beautiful Truth to know and experience Christ being IN us, rather than “up there somewhere.” So, how is it that so much energy is spent by so many Believers trying to find Christ to spend some time with Him, instead of believing God and His clear location of where Christ is?
