BASK IN HIS PRESENCE

BASK IN HIS PRESENCE

Shared by Yolanda Ballard

We must be sensitive to the leading of the Holy Spirit in all that we do, to walk and talk with Him in the cool of the day. He knows the desires of our heart and will meet us where we are. If you desire quiet time to worship Him, He will give it to you no matter where you are at because if you dwell in the secret place, you are in the position of worship at all times.

This is the day the Lord has made and we shall rejoice and be glad in it. Never allow the enemy to steal your joy and the blessings God has given us by dwelling in the place of uncertainty, doubt, unbelief and worry. Be thankful for the peace and safety and our many blessings for they are far more than many have at this time especially those going through great persecution.

At times the enemy may make you feel guilty because you have so much and many are going through so much and without. But don’t receive the accusations of the enemy saying that you aren’t doing enough or that you aren’t serving enough or praying enough. If the Holy Spirit leads you, you are in the position to receive the burden of the Lord. If you have none at a time, just worship Him because that is the highest form of prayer.

Rejoice that your life is hidden in Him and that your name is written in the Lamb’s book of life. Forevermore we will be able to sit at His feet and learn more about His kingdom and how you can serve Him just by loving Him. We are to love one another just like He loves us to live in the spirit of forgiveness and grace forbearing one another. Allow His resurrection power and healing to flow through you by walking in His spirit crucifying the lusts of the flesh, the eyes and the pride of life. Yes, rejoice because He has begun a good work and He is faithful to complete it.

I felt inspired to write all this because even though I might not get many quiet times caring for Levi I felt His presence fall upon me in the middle of the kitchen. I had some beautiful worship music my dear daughter in the Lord gave me. She is such a jewel! I found myself sitting on the floor just basking in His presence. At church Sunday I wasn’t able to go as deep in worship as I desire because of being hindered but God makes it up for surely He gives us the desires of our heart and it is mainly to worship Him in His secret place.
