A Work in Progress
Another way of verifying God’s presence in your life is to recognize that He is committed to finishing the work he started in you. The apostle Paul says in Philippians 1:6 that “He who began a good work in you will perfect it until the day of Christ Jesus.” (NASB) See yourself as a work in progress with the owner/investor onsite to assure that the job gets done. He bought you, now you belong to Him, and you are becoming his masterpiece. He wants you to bear fruit—to be mature and grow as a loving, caring person. As long as you remain ‘unfinished’, you can be certain that He is present in your life.

AM All Present
Who is God? Is our view of Him an old man in a rocking chair? Is He the "Hide and Seek god" that can't be known? Is He the "Clock Maker" that got this universe going and then walked away? Or is He just my homeboy, my bud? From God’s Love Letter, the Bible, we will learn of an all-present God. It's because of God's presence I can be directed each day, protected daily and enjoy His presence 24/7.

A Passion for His Presence - Pt. 1 - Come to Jesus, And Rest!
Without God's presence and voice, we're sunk! Yet too often we come to church, but miss coming to Jesus himself---leaving us frustrated and weary in our Christian life. Jesus said to the burnt-out and exhausted, "Come to ME" (not religion). . ."and I will give you rest."

This is true for us today, as well; through the Holy Spirit and by the cross, God's presence empowers us, guides us, and extends daily mercy.

Critical Questions - Part2
Mark shares about the importance of living for Christ. From John Ortberg's, The Life You've Always Wanted: "The good news as Jesus preached it is that now it is possible for ordinary men and women to live in the presence and under the power of God.
