If Jesus tells us something we can count on it to be true. In this verse Jesus tells us if 2 or 3 people come together in his name he will be with them. We will be in his presence and covered in his love. Does that mean that we have to be surrounded by others to be in Jesus presence? No, the Lord can meet us where we are at whether we are alone or in a group. But this verse tells us that it is important to be in his presence with others. God created each of us to be unique. We all have different gifts, and lessons we have learned in life. When we come together to worship and seek God We can encourage each other and help each other in different ways. We are stronger together. When we come together and stand up against the enemy, with Jesus at our side, he will lose every time. Having other people around can help us to remain strong and faithful. We can encourage each other in times of doubt and fear. While it is very important to spend time with Jesus alone, it is also important to come together and spend time in his presence. Get out of your comfort zone, join a group, allow Jesus presence to come in and see what happens.
Prayer:
Lord we thank you for your goodness. We want more of you Lord, we seek your presence. We know that when we come together in your name you will be with us. Help us to step out of our comfort zones, come together and seek you. Help us to be humble and overflowing with your love and joy, in Jesus name we pray Amen.
Verse:
For where two or three are gathered in my name, there am I among them.”
