After several hours of traffic density across Jakarta, I finally arrived at the airport as well. As I rushed to check in, imagine the face of disappointment Sam, my son was three and a half years, which some day I left at home. I bought off a souvenir from the existing outlet at the airport, because almost missed the flight. Explanation of what I have to say? However, my concern is apparently not true. As soon as Sam saw me coming from the door, he was immediately rushed to run past the officers, and jumped into my arms. "Sam missed papa" he said. How nice to know that my presence to be a gift more precious than any gift I can take it.

The presence of the Lord. The face of God. That is the longing and the search for David. If you should ask for one thing, David knew very precious thing she wanted most: the presence of God in his life (v. 4). In the presence of the Lord, there is inclusion, protection, defense, delight, goodness, strength (verses 1-6, 13-14). Terrible thing most feared David: God hides His presence (v. 9).

How much you appreciate and want God in your life? Are there other things you're looking for more of the intimacy of His presence? Or is the Lord's blessings, you're looking forward to but not more visible, making you upset and leave him? Look for the (re) face of his, and jump into the arms of his, in which you desire and longing for the Lord met. - JOO
