When I am in the Presence of He who gave me life: I find my peace.
When I am in the Presence I write.
Whether or not Eric Liddel ever actually said: “When I run I feel God’s pleasure”
When I write I feel his pleasure… and when it stops I stop.
A week or so ago… it just stopped. It was like the fire of hydrant of ideas was turned off.
I sought Jesus about it.. I made a course correction. Fire hydrant came back.
When I am at church…. Surrounded by those who truly have the Spirit of God… I can’t stop writing…. The last two Sundays this has been very true.
When we get to church we take the older kids to kids ministry….
And then Lizzie and I take up residence on the floor of the family room.
I start in the place of worship…. And the place of joy of being a dad…
Then there go my fingers again…
In different churches across the western world the word worship has had a fairly narrow definition. It generally describes the musical portion of a church service…at least it did for me.
Not true anymore… We have started to realize as a body that everything we do can be worship… should be worship
Being a Dad. Is worship. Being a Mom MORE than so.
Your job is worship. Your life is worship. How you deal with the barking dog or the disobedient children… those can be worship too….
Do all you do… unto the Glory of Him who created you.
Being a follower of Jesus doesn’t mean going to a building… sitting in a pew… and saying a prayer…
Being a follower of Jesus means just that…
To follow Jesus.
And now we are back to the Presence again.
I am the vine… you are the branches he said…. You can do nothing apart from me.
He did nothing apart from His Father. Jesus doesn’t expect us to do anything He hasn’t already done.
As He depended on His Father and the Holy Spirit… We are to depend on Him and the Holy Spirits power.
In the presence.
