God has given us access to His presence and His holiness, but He will not force us to use it. Too often, we are lukewarm in our recognition of God's presence, and we dutifully treat relationship with Him as an obligation, rather than a priority. Because God is continuously committed to us, even when we struggle to be committed to Him, He provides specific instructions in the Bible to help us move past casually acknowledging His presence, to knowing the fullness of His presence. These are not laws He commands us to obey; they are God's counsel regarding how we can protect and pursue deeper relationship with Him.
