Wherever you go, take Jesus with you. He’s right beside you anyway, but sometimes (most times?) we forget He is there. Our conversations are light, superficial, and inconsequential. We talk about the weather, sports, fashion, entertainment, and politics. If we recognized Jesus as being present in that place, would those be the topics of our conversations? I can’t imagine sitting down to a meal with Jesus and just shooting the breeze.

To be in the presence of holiness should do something to us. (Isaiah 6:1-5; Luke 5:8) It should change the topic of what we discuss and upend all our pursuits. Understanding that Jesus is with us in every moment of our lives should change the way we live. (Matthew 28:19-20; Colossians 3:17) If it doesn’t, then we have no clue about who Jesus is. (Luke 6:46; 1 John 2:3-6)
