Let this verse sink in....It's from the message, but so many times we read the verse a few above and miss the meat in this one. "When you come looking" in other words God's not hiding, but there is some effort on our part. Your focus shifts when you go on a hunt for something. "When you get serious about finding me" This is more than the daily quiet time routine that we often time let become all that we do. It's about taking time to press into His presence. When the woman with an issue of blood went looking for Jesus, she had to press her way through a crowd to get to Him. Pressing isn't easy, it's not fun.....but from it comes not only spiritual strength but an oil. That's a blog in itself one day. There is so much I've learned from God over the last season about oil. "I'll make sure you won't be disappointed". Ya'll time with Him is never wasted. More than that it's a filling that can only come from time with Him. During this quarantine time....maybe you've turned your focus to more time with God if so you have an idea what I'm talking about. If not, I urge you ...press in before busy takes over again and truly listen for what He's speaking. He's pouring out so much in this season.
This latest season didn't give me the punch ( I really wish I knew what I was going to finish that statement with when I started this blog a few weeks ago..lol)
I had a few moments between the start of this blog and the ending of it now where, yes God and I spent time together...but I wasn't saturating myself with pressing into His presence like I had been earlier on in the month. How many times do we get like that though? We press into His presence, we get an answer....and then we slow down. Grace sweet readers if you are reading this and going yes I can see that!! Get back up and again and keep pressing in as close as you can to hear His heartbeat......I promise you, He has a purpose and a plan. He's still got words to speak to us, so He can prepare moments to speak through us. Only when we have been in that intimate place with Him, will we get the download of what He wants to do through us.
I don't know where you are at tonight or what you are facing...but He does. Seek Him, I mean go after His presence like you would if you lost your phone or your debit card. I promise you, you will not be disappointed.....This latest season could have dealt me more punches, and let's face it...it dealt me enough, but the punches made me press into His presence even more.....and it's where I found myself in Him. We don't fight a battle we can see....once we get that truth deep down into us, we will be able to war as He has purposed for us to fight.
