I just finished meeting with some folks about Facedown details and it just makes me even more excited! I think it would be awesome if we packed the place out that night. A lofty goal, but a fun one!!!
Psalm 46:10 | Be still, and know that I am God. I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth! (ESV)
Yesterday I talked about Engage, the new prayer room we’ve added to Facedown. And as I said, engaging with God is vital in our relationship with Him. But something else is equally important…but takes a lot more practice. That’s being still in His presence. It’s very unnatural for us as humans in today’s society to be quiet and still for more than half a second. We are busy creatures with busy schedules.
Practicing stillness is learning how to listen to God. So many times we go to God and talk His ear off, telling Him how we see life. How often do we ask Him how HE sees life? Believe me, I’m the worst on this! I’m ashamed at the number of times I go through the “drive-thru” with God. I place my order and then go on with my day. How I wish I would take the time to listen to Him.
The awesome thing is that when we start listening to Him, He does an extraordinary thing…He reveals Himself to us. The scripture says “Be still and know that I am God.” We begin to encounter the Creator of the universe as He gives us a peak at how great and phenomenal He is. And that is where worship starts…it starts with revelation from God. Then we can’t help but respond with all out praise and adoration.
God- teach us how to be still before You so that we can see You in all Your glory. Teach us how to listen to Your voice. Reveal Your glory to us so that we can respond with highest praise and honor! Amen.
