We will be wise to check
often to see if we’ve relegated God to a side shelf of our life, a position of
being close, but now dusty, forgetting that He is still alive and desiring to
breathe into the moments of our day.
We may have rewritten Him
to satisfy our inclinations instead of being on our knees regularly, face to
the ground, and remembering this holy God who bled for us to have freedom and
joy. The perspective is better if
we visit the ground frequently.
We may have gotten busy
and are consumed with current pressures, tugged this way and that, awash with
worries and fears. If there has
been a marathon going on in your head that has pounded you to the pavement with
the beat of the drum of concerns, pause until you hear His song again. There is freedom to be found as you
listen for the music and begin to hear the lyrics He is singing over you. He will tell you who He is and speak
His love and healing for you. His
song never stops.
We forget so quickly that
He is here…with US. Remind us
today, sweet and strong Emmanuel, who came to intersect our broken lives and
bring us to the water, to the green pastures, to the work of believing in every
step and thought of our day.
Let this day count as one
where we are awake.
