The woman of faith spoke about coming to church early – in the wee hours, long before the congregation arrived. She wanted to be with the Lord. In quiet. In peaceful surround. Then she said something that seared through my spirit like a flaming arrow. She said, “The Lord was waiting for me.”

Think on that for a moment: “The Lord was waiting for me.”

Do we approach our quiet times with that thought? I know I’m learning to, but I also know I still seem to approach it with the idea that it’s me, myself, and I when I curl up in my quiet place. I mean, I realize I go there to seek the Lord, to study His Word, to pour out my heart to him. But.

But do I approach my quiet time with the realization that the Lord is waiting for me?

Do you?

Oh my goodness. That’s a life-changer, don’tcha think?

“O God, You are my God; Early will I seek You; My soul thirsts for You; My flesh longs for You in a dry and thirsty land where there is no water. So I have looked for You in the sanctuary, to see Your power and Your glory.” ~ Psalm 63:1,2

So I looked for You in the sanctuary…

I think I’m going to be looking the next time I go seeking.

O Lord, open our eyes to see You. Awaken our hearts to understand Your love and Your desire to dwell richly – in relationship – with Your children. Open our ears to hear You bidding us come. We love You Father. You are an amazing God. Thank You for making a way to know You.
