The Lord has fulfilled His word and promises...Or at least I see the beginning of the fulfillment. This morning as I return to sitting before the Lord as is my custom...I've some thought of how when I'm not in such pain and dire need that I might not seek the Lord as passionately. But that is what walking and not fainting is about. When the pain is so consuming that you can do nothing else but fall upon the Lord and cling desperately to Him...it's almost easy to be focused on Him. You have to for survival. It's on the days when you are emotionally okay that you have to do the walking and not fainting...where you put yourself back in the secret place and seek His face just as passionately. It's in the times of the mundane and the routine that you prove what you learned in the crucible...how desperately you need Him and how satsfying His presence is. When you are in the fire, sometimes you can't do anything else but sit before Him. When you are okay, coming back to sit before Him is proof of your love for Him. That you treasure the moments when you had nothing else and He is everything. And now you willingly put away everything to just be with Him.
Taste and see that the Lord is good!
