Wow, It’s hard to believe we are into the second month of 2020, and I haven’t sent a blog since December of last year. Well, here I am huddled up with my water, my hot tea, and my tissues writing about waiting patiently.
I have been learning over the past few months about “Abiding” in the Lord, and He abiding in me; Him staying with me and going through life with me, through great triumph as well as sickness. I find myself feeling comforted and comfortable in this “secret place” IN the most High. I also discovered that going to His secret place is not automatic, I have to intentionally “go” there; but, He welcomes me day or night. It’s so good to know that everything I really need is right in front of me (in Him) at all times, and that He is eager to bring me UP to where He is whenever my heart is willing.
Lyrics: (“I Waited” is not recorded yet)
I waited patiently for the Lord, and He inclined unto me
He heard my cry…He heard my cry…
He brought me up…also out…of a horrible pit…
out of the miry clay…out of the miry clay
He set my feet upon a rock, and established my goings
and He has put a new song in my mouth…even praise unto our God…
Hallelujah…I will praise You… Halellujah…You are worthy…
As we move into this new year, this new decade, let us all remember that He, God, is right here waiting for us to call upon Him, and step into this place of abiding. Jesus paid a very high price to give us the opportunity to be lifted out of the miry clay so He can set our feet on solid ground. He proved that He wants this for us, and His invitation for us to come to Him is open-ended…now we must decide if we want to enter into His Presence.
Abiding, staying, living in this “secret place of the Most High” is awesome…I wish I didn’t have the tendency to step out of there and try to handle everything myself…but He keeps inviting me back…!!!
