Pausing in His Presence
We make ourselves available for His Presence, as He unravels us from our noisy thought life and turbulent emotions. This stillness is a journey of discovery. We take time to draw aside, permitting Him to settle our hearts and minds. Now resting in His stillness, we slow down, taking time to pause, reflect, and listen. In this pausing, there’s space for God to bring deeper revelation, drawing us closer as He guides us through each day.
Lingering over scripture, we pause in His Presence as Holy Spirit brings further revelation. He encourages us to embrace what we’ve received, allowing it to affect our hearts. God’s word becomes an access point to all that He has for us. We taste and see the delights He wishes to share, making this intimate journey a day-to-day reality. Discussing what we have received, takes us deeper still in our understanding. The revelation unfurls within us as we do this so that it forms part of our blossoming character. Here we see the display of His nature within as He gently unfolds the layers of our redeemed Christlikeness.
Stillness positions us to hear His voice more clearly as we rest ‘beloved’ in the sweetness of His Presence. He speaks into the silence as we engage, allowing His whispers to curl around our hearts. Now we discover we become peaceful and content on the inside.
Therefore, we listen for the deeper wisdom revealed and receive His strength to overcome any hurdles or blockages as He unveils the truth. This truth crushes any lies believed, clearing the way for our renewed minds and transformed hearts. Walking in partnership with Holy Spirit, we discover a fluid, organic lifestyle emerging. This is our desire as we pursue continual connection in our divine union with Christ.
