Experiencing God's Presence

by Matthew Henry

Walk with God
You wake up, and your mind is already racing. Your schedule is packed with all that the day holds. In the jumble of carpools, projects, dinner, work, and time with your family, God is often pushed to the side--or out of the picture completely.
Matthew Henry was a man who awoke to thoughts of God, went to bed with God on his mind, and filled every hour in between with the same godly focus. Despite hardships, his life was fulfilled and joyful. Learn from him the importance of godly conversation, true devotions, and effective communication, and find a life that is completely pleasing to God.

About the author

Matthew Henry was an English non-conformist clergyman. Henry's well-known Exposition of the Old and New Testaments (1708–1710) is a commentary of a practical and devotional rather than of a critical kind, covering the whole of the Old Testament, and the Gospels and Acts in the New Testament.

Reviews

[Hannah Brown]

This little book contains some real gems. The first several chapters are a little dry and repetitive, especially for those who are not new Christians, but the last few chapters are a gold mine.

[Valerie Alexanian]

Loved most of the book! The last chapters felt disjointed.

Praying is lifting up the soul to God and pouring out the heart before Him. 11

What a shame it is to us that God is more willing to be prayed to, and more ready to hear prayer, than we are to pray!
13

Desire is love in motion, like a bird upon his wing; delight is love at rest, like a bird upon the nest… our delight must be so in God that we never wish for more than God. 68

Every member of the family sharing in family mercies must wait on God for grace to contribute to family duties. Whatever disa-greeableness there may be in any family rela-tionship, instead of having the spirit either burdened with it or provoked by it, let it be an inducement to wait on God, who is able either to remedy the grievance, or to balance it and give grace to bear it. 98

We are never less alone than when we are alone with God. 107

Do not dare to go to sleep in that condition in which you do not dare to die. 150

It ought to be the business of every day to prepare for our last day. 173

Our time is not our own, for we know in whose hands our times are, and we must always live for Him, by whom we always live. 176

[August Maclauchlan]

I tried this a few years back. It was a little difficult to read. I just crushed it this year. My heart was ready to devour it. My father loves Matthew Henry. I.purchased the book because of my dad's adoration for Henry. It's a wonderful practical Christian life

[Alaina Leann]

I chose this book to refresh and guide my mind in my prayer life and it was an incredible help to me! Much wisdom and direction in this book. I wrote down many helps from this book that I taped to my wall in my bedroom to pray over and over again.
