Who is in your prescence?

In this day and busy time that we live in it is rarely that we take the time to smell the roses or less notice the people in our surroundings.. It is amazing the people that come in our presence on a daily bases and we look and treat them as nothing. I know that the word speaks of how Zechariah was startled when the angel approached him and said I have heard your prayers......out of all Zechariah's praying yet he truly did not believe. Our belief systems always prevail our actual reaction to receiving the promise or some might say he was startled at the Angel,because of whatever and my thoughts. Why would we be startled at God's showing up in our presence in some shape, form or fashion? How many times do we shrug off who is in our presence can you image how Zechariah had been so busy working in the temple and he didn't recognize that God's manifested presence was about to shift his ministry work. We get so established in traditions and fluff and many times miss the opportunity to serve who is in our presence, because we are so busy serving the future.Today I was fortunate to meet a young man who worked for his city government, he wasn't the mayor or some Department head, but what I recognized he was important to the kingdom of God and his today, looks nothing like his tomorrow will be, I could have made the decision to shrug him off as a nobody, but God needed to manifest himself in our presence and it is a wonderful feeling and blessing to see God restore one back into fellowship with him. Ask your self How many times God has said to you that I heard your prayer and now you don't believe me for my manifested results.....I am in your presence today
