entering in

“I find there are actually people that have learned to be satisfied without the presence of God in the church.  I mean, it’s scary; they think it’s normal… I would walk out of my prayer closet and I would struggle to get into the presence of God.  [Then] I started to do something: I would start to walk out, not sing, not pray and just started to meditate on the awesomeness of my Father.  As soon as I did that… there was His presense.

-John Bevere, spoken at New Life Church (listen), Sep 26, 2004

Father, help me to not over-complicate entering into Your presence.  I want to sing with You, I want to dance before You.  Glory be Your Name Father.  Majesty is Your Name.  How great, how magnificent are your wonders.  Your Name was all I could think about all morning… I’m intoxicated… I’m off to the secret place, Lord… meet me by the lake.
