Join us at Pawleys Island creek side for See You Saturday as we wrap up the week on the presence of God.
Isaiah 28:5 NIV — In that day the Lord almighty will be a glorious crown, a beautiful wreath for the remnant of his people.
Remnant means a small remaining quantity of something. Steven Furtick has said, “God is going to bless what’s left.” I think about what is left of a dandelion as the little seed parachute leaves. Just like the remnant creates a new dandelion, the Lord blesses us like the seed parachute (a remnant of the dandelion) into a new flower.
How are you doing? Are you clinging to the remnant like a life preserver or are you flourishing with every seed? It’s OK to say yes to both questions. Not every day is going to be glorious. God is with us no matter what we do with our remnants.
Let’s pray. Dear God, thank You for blessing what is left. Thank You for the glorious beauty that only You can offer. Help me to take Your remnant and flourish for Your glory today. In Jesus’ name I pray, Amen.
Psalms 16:11 NIV — You make known to me the path of life; you will fill me with joy in your presence, with eternal pleasures at your right hand.
God’s presence is the fullness of Joy. As you read Psalm 16:11 think about how God’s presence brings you Joy. One day driving on a country road and dandelions brought me a little piece of Joy. God will always provide it; we just have to open our eyes to see it, feel it, and experience it.
What brings you joy? Do you struggle with finding joy? Is it visible like the dandelion or do you have to intentionally seek to see, feel, and experience it? Thankfully, as we read in Psalms, all we need is God’s presence. Let’s ask God to open our eyes!
Dear God, thank You for Your presence that brings me the fullness of joy. Open my eyes to see, feel, and experience the joy You have set before me. In Jesus’ name I pray, Amen.
Join us in meditating on God’s word. Really take the time to sit in His presence.

Isaiah 28:5 NIV — In that day the Lord almighty will be a glorious crown, a beautiful wreath for the remnant of his people.
Psalms 96:1-4, 9 NIV — Sing to the Lord a new song; sing to the Lord, all the earth. Sing to the Lord, praise his name; proclaim his salvation day after day. Declare his glory among the nations, his marvelous deeds among all peoples. For great is the Lord and most worthy of praise; he is to be feared above all gods. Worship the Lord in the splendor of his holiness; tremble before him, all the earth.
