Sit And Dine With The God Of The Universe
How many times do we practice our prayers as if we barely have time to speak. We quickly race in to tell God "all about it" but don't take time in reverence to seek. And when we do that, we have painfully missed what it means to really know God through prayer. For we should be changed into His very likeness from the time that we spend while we're there. If we silently ponder the purity of His holiness we'll be far more aware of our sin. And we'll no longer be satisfied letting it have its way for we'll want God to have His way again. If we visit in our minds His sheer, righteous glory we'll be struck until tears start to well. For that righteousness paid the price for our sin & disgrace to redeem us from the clutches of hell. If we drink in His mercy in our time of sweet prayer we'll be humbled and daily re-aligned. We'll remember who we are in the scheme of this life because His mercy will fill our hearts & our minds. If we say we love God, we must let Him love us and that requires giving Him what is true; To grant Him time to speak...and tell us precious secrets of who He is and what He wants to do. Prayer was never meant to be a drive-thru experience with just getting what we want as our goal. But rather, to sit and dine with the God of the Universe and the Master of our very own souls.
