Have you thanked Him?
Have you praised Him?
Have you made it your priority to agree and cooperate with Him today?
Have you taken that deep breath and listened for what He has for you today?
1 Timothy 2:1 (The Message)
1-3The first thing I want you to do is pray. Pray every way you know how, for everyone you know.
“God’s presence is everywhere around us. God is able to penetrate intertwine himself within the fibers of the human self in such a way that those who are enveloped in His loving companionship will never be alone.” - Dallas
Will you engage it today?
A few weeks back our Senior Pastor Mark was sharing from this very familiar passage…
Isaiah 40:31 (KJV)
But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.
He shared something that I didn’t know or hadn’t heard before. The word “wait” in HEBREW is defined as to “originally twist”; that those who are waiting upon the Lord are “twisted” together with the Lord or in other words “INTERTWINED”.
That paints quite the picture doesn’t it?
That when we are INTERTWINED in the presence of GOD our STRENGTH for today is RENEWED! When we are INTERTWINED with the presence of GOD we won’t weary in our well doing. When we are INTERTWINED with the presence of GOD we can continue to walk, to persevere, to endure and not grow faint!
“God has called us into a place of tenderness, when nobody is looking, when there are no great decisions to make, when it’s just him and me in a hotel room, with no one to pray for, no one to preach to. When it is just two people in a room, that’s where you learn. That’s where you learn his heartbeat. That’s where you learn the presence. That’s where you learn the voice. It’s in the moments when nobody is watching, nobody is evaluating how good you’re doing. When it is just you and him.” ― Bill Johnson
Therefore:
When we are INTERTWINED in the presence of GOD that is when we learn the heartbeat of GOD. When we are INTERTWINED in the presence of GOD we confirm ourselves as COMPANIONS! When we are INTERTWINED in the presence of GOD we are NEVER alone!God has said: ‘I will never leave you nor forsake you’. (Hebrews 13:5 PH)
So ask yourself the questions this morning.
Am I INTERTWINED?
What can I do to embrace the presence of GOD that is so readily available to me?
Is it time for some worship?
Is it time for a little quiet respite from the “to do” list?
Is it time for a little focus or listening?
GOD is ready to speak to you this morning.
GOD is ready to sift through the distractions and noise and take your hand in companionship to walk with you through the day.
GOD is ready to twist his Hands around the reins on this day and guide your through it.
“Wait on Him”
“Intertwine”.
Make it just the two of you for a minute.
“Let us occupy ourselves entirely in knowing God. The more we know Him, the more we will desire to know Him. As love increases with knowledge, the more we know God, the more we will truly love Him. We will learn to love Him equally in times of distress or in times of great joy.” ― Lawrence
I love you ALL!
