Experiencing God in Daily Life Part 2 by Ps Michael Podhaczky

If I were to tell you that your work, uni, school, the sports club, gym and even the shopping centre are holy places, what would you say? Do you know what makes them holy? It is God’s presence; God is in that place. Since God is in you, you carry His holy presence into that place. So these places are not merely secular places; they are actually holy places. This biblical worldview can affect everything that you do.

Moses appeared to have this worldview; he came to the reality that God was already working around him. God showed Moses His plan for Israel right in the middle of his workday, right on the workshop floor.

“God called out to him (Moses) and said, ‘Do not come any closer,’ the LORD warned. ‘Take off your sandals (work boots), for you are standing on holy ground (the workshop floor)’” (Exodus 3:5 NLT).

When was the last time that God turned up at your work, home, sports or social club, gym, the shopping centre, or wherever you find yourself in the day to day? He wants to get your attention and let you know that He is already working around you. He wants to challenge you as to the holiness of the place where you are doing life.

God told Moses what He had already been doing and said that He was inviting Moses to be a part of what He was doing (Exodus 3:7-8,10). But unlike Moses you have the presence of God the Holy Spirit with you continuously. He is living within you; you are a part of His church. As a result, wherever you are becomes a holy place.

“Don’t you realise that all of you together are the temple of God and that the Spirit of God lives in you?” (1 Corinthians 3:16 NLT).

There is not a time in your life as a Christ-follower that His Holy Spirit is not in you. Have you noticed God at work around you? If so, what does it look like; what does it mean for you?
