Good morning everyone. Today the word ministered to me in a way that just put me in a great place to share. I was taken in to the secret place where the Lord brings me back to my senses and let’s me know that He is there. The message is short and sweet today so get ready, get ready, and get ready!
TODAY’S PRAYER
Dear Heavenly Father, Thank you for all the children in the world. Every one is precious, a heritage and gift from You. I pray for protection, guidance, good health, loving families, positive role models, and many blessings upon these children. So many of these children are mistreated Lord. Others are covered in love. Some are spoiled; others have nothing–not even bare necessities. Please reach out and touch them all, and meet every need in the way You see best. In Jesus’ name I pray, Amen.
Let’s eat.
THE ISOLATION CHAMBER
Be still and know that I am God…. – Psalm 46:10
There is a time and place in our walk with God in which He sets us in a place of waiting. It’s a place in which all past experiences are of no value. It is a time of such stillness that it can disturb the most faithful if we don’t understand that He is the one who has brought us to this place for only a time determined by Him. It’s as if God has placed a wall around us. No new opportunities–simply inactivity.
During these times, God is calling us aside to fashion something new in us. It is an isolation chamber designed to call us to deeper roots of prayer and faith. It’s not a comfortable place, especially for a task-driven believer. Our nature cries out, “You must do something,” while God is saying, “BE STILL AND KNOW THAT I AM GOD.” You know the signs that you have been brought into this chamber when He has removed many things from your life and you can’t seem to change anything. Perhaps you are unemployed. maybe you are laid up with an illness.
Most religious people live a very planned and orchestrated life where they know almost everything that will happen. But for people in whom God is performing a deeper work, He brings them into a time of quietness that seems almost eerie. They can’t say what God is doing. They just know that He is doing a work that can’t be explained to themselves or to others.
Has God brought you to a place of being still?
Be still and know that He really is God. When this happens, the chamber will open soon after.
QUOTE OF THE DAY
“If your life consistently bears no fruit, God will intervene to discipline you. If your life bears some fruit, God will intervene to prune you. If your life bears a lot of fruit, God will invite you to abide more deeply with Him.”
