How to KNOW That GOD IS WITH YOU (PART 1)

Now the Spirit of God came on Azariah the son of Oded, and he went out to meet Asa and said to him, "Listen to me, Asa, and all Judah and Benjamin: the LORD is with you when you are with Him. And if you seek Him, He will let you find Him; but if you forsake Him, He will forsake you. 
2 Chronicles 15:1-2 NIV

 
You know God is with you in two ways:

1. Your conscious choice.
2. Your perfect success.

You choose to focus your attention on God's omnipresence.  You then welcome and acknowledge His presence, and you feel Him acknowledge and welcome you in response. 

It's like this:

You stand in a crowded party, looking into the crowd from the top of a stair case.  The music plays.  People talk and dance and laugh.  You are not focusing on any one person, and no one person is focusing on you.

Until you do.
Until he does.
Until she does.

You look at him and he looks at you.
You look at her and she looks at you.

You wave and smile.
He waves back and smiles.
She waves back and smiles.

You both have been at the party from the beginning, in the same room, listening to the same music.
But you didn't acknowledge or focus on each other, until now. 

This is how it is with God, always present, always watching.
When you acknowledge the always present gaze of God, you know He at that moment is acknowledging you.

Look at the One who is looking at you.
Wave at Him, and He'll wave back to you.
