God’s Presence Makes the Place Holy

And Moses said, I will now turn aside and see this great sight, why the bush is not burned.

And when the Lord saw that he turned aside to see, God called to him out of the midst of the bush and said, Moses, Moses! And he said, Here am I.

God said, Do not come near; put your shoes off your feet, for the place on which you stand is holy ground.

Exodus 3:3-5

God called me into ministry while I was in my bedroom making my bed and talking with Him. Making a bed is a rather mundane thing. There isn’t anything particularly spiritual or exciting about it, yet God chose to speak to me about taking a direction that would greatly alter the entire course of my life and my family’s lives while I was in my home engaged in this very ordinary, everyday activity.

If we will let Him into every area of our lives, we will be amazed at the times and places the Lord will speak to us.

When God appeared to Moses at the burning bush, He told him to take his sandals off his feet because the place on which he was standing was holy ground. A few seconds before God showed up, it was ordinary ground—now it had become holy ground. His presence made it holy! And His presence is in the believer who has accepted Jesus Christ as Savior.

We are God’s tabernacle; our bodies are the temple of the Holy Spirit (1 Cor. 6:19). He lives in us! Wherever we go, He goes. If we go to the grocery store, He goes. If we go play golf, He goes. If we go to the park with our children, He goes.

All these ordinary things are things we either must do, or should do, to maintain balance in our lives. The things we do and the places we go in our everyday lives are not holy in themselves, but when we go there and do them, God has promised to be with us. And any place God is becomes holy.

Secular things can become sacred things when the Lord is present. If you and I do all that we do for the honor and glory of God, then it can all be done with an awareness of His presence—we can “do life” with God!

Life in Christ is so wonderful, and I believe we should celebrate every aspect of it. Webster defines the word celebrate in part as “to observe an occasion with… festivity.”1 Life is certainly a special occasion and should be celebrated with festivities, especially a festive attitude. Our daily confession should be Psalm 118:24 KJV: This is the day which the Lord hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it.
