Awakened to His Presence

Taste His goodness, hear His voice, see His beauty—He invites all of you to know all of Him.

Awakened to His Presence

Taste His goodness, hear His voice, see His beauty—He invites all of you to know all of Him.

God is good. Not just in what He does, but in who He is—love itself (1 John 4:8). And this God, Who is agape love, has placed His Spirit within our renewed spirit so we can know Him, enjoy Him, and experience the fullness of life in Him.

Scripture shows us that our connection with Him is not limited to intellect or duty—it’s relational, vibrant, and full of sensory invitations:

  • Hearing – “My sheep listen to My voice; I know them, and they follow Me” (John 10:27).

  • Seeing – “Open my eyes that I may see wonderful things in Your law” (Psalm 119:18).

  • Tasting – “Taste and see that the Lord is good” (Psalm 34:8).

  • Touching – “If I only touch His cloak, I will be healed” (Matthew 9:21).

  • Smelling – “We are to God the pleasing aroma of Christ” (2 Corinthians 2:15).

These aren’t just poetic expressions. They are invitations to encounter Him with the whole of who we are. To hear His voice in Scripture and in the Spirit’s whispers. To see His beauty in creation and His faithfulness in our lives. To taste His goodness when we trust Him in uncertainty. To touch His presence in worship, prayer, and the ministry of others. To carry the fragrance of His love into the lives of everyone we meet.

The God who made you is not far off. He is here—present, speaking, revealing, comforting, and loving. All of you, every part of you, was designed to know all of Him.

Reflection

Which of my “spiritual senses” feels most active in my walk with God right now?

Where have I recently heard, seen, or felt His presence in my life?

What might it look like to “taste and see” His goodness this week?

How could I carry the “fragrance of Christ” into my relationships today?

Which sense do I most need Him to awaken so I can experience Him more fully?

Prayer
Father, thank You for making Yourself knowable—not only to my mind, but to my heart and spirit. Open my ears to hear Your voice, my eyes to see Your hand at work, my taste to savor Your goodness, my touch to feel Your presence, and my life to carry the fragrance of Christ to others. Awaken me to the fullness of Your love so I may live every moment aware of You. Amen.
