Psalm 46:10
Be still and know that I am God.
God's Presence is like the heater in my house; when it gets cold I hear the click and I feel the warm air coming up through the register, but I don't see it. And God's Presence can be compared to the air conditioner; again I hear the click as the HVAC unit turns on, I feel the cool air circulating in my home, but I don't see anything.
Now God's Presence doesn't click on and off, It doesn't come and go. God's Presence is always with me, but sometimes I am more aware of It than others.
In times of trouble I seek His calming Presence. I might read His word or listen to Christian music which soothes my soul. In times of joy, I can feel Him with me and I might even talk to Him out loud and thank Him for his blessings. I also have times of doubt, when I wonder if I am doing His will. At those times I will be still and feel His arms around me holding me and giving me strength.
We don't have to see God to know God.
When we read the Bible...He is talking to us.
We see Him in the beauty of the world; the sunrise, sunsets, ocean waves, bird song, colors of the seasons and majestic landscapes He has prepared for us.
He communicates to us through other people, friends, family, pastors at our church, even things we see and hear on the internet.
The key to feeling God's Presence and knowing He is with us is to just be still. We need to quiet our minds and tune in to what He has to say. Make time each day to spend with Him. He will not disappoint, He is always there waiting.
Psalm 89:15 - 16
How blessed are the people who know the joyful sound!
O LORD, they walk in the light of Your countenance.
Be still and know that I am God.

And by Your righteousness they are exalted.
And by Your righteousness they are exalted.
