Be Still And Know

There is just something about setting here at the table, oil lamp lit, looking out the bay windows and enjoying the silence of the night, the flickering of the lamp as I write.

A peace floods my soul, as I realize this is time that I spend with the Father, a time of drawing close and drawing strength from His presence.

The amazing aspect of this quiet time, is the sense, the awareness of His presence, that He is working in my life, my heart, my mind and spirit, changing me, molding me into the vessel that He wants me to be, it is in these quiet times that He takes delight in us.

It is in this time of stillness, in the quietness, that we begin to learn to hear the whispers of His words, words of hope, of encouragement, that we are given a sense of expectation, of life, fresh, a new, for each day, each morning, is a new beginning for us.

Like David, when we come into the presence of the Father, He hears our voice, He touches our tears, He embraces us, He comforts us.

He gives us the strength, the Holy Spirit to enable us to walk in life and in fellowship.

Each day as we come before Him, He changes us, removes the blockage and sets us free to walk in the light of His word, of His presence.

We are called daily to be one with the Father, one with each other, to build up the Body of Christ, that we are a many membered body, that the Father is bringing us together to reflect the light, the hope that we have in the Lord Jesus Christ.

Today and each day, let us enter His gates with thanksgiving, let us rejoice and lift up our voices and declare that He is Lord, and this is indeed the day that the Lord has made, that we will rejoice and be glad in it.

Let us reflect the reality of who He is, that our lives will reflect the reality of a life changed and made whole in Him!
