Saturday night I could not sleep but I had an overwhelming sense of being drawn to a time with God. Now before you put me in the “mystic” column (which wouldn’t be a bad thing), I didn’t hear an audible voice or anything, but there was a distinct burning desire in my heart to be alone with God. So I got up, went out on the back deck, built a fire in the chimnea and just sat for a couple of hours. It was a beautiful, peaceful and quiet night with a little chill in the air – I couldn’t have asked for anything more.
One would think, at this point in the story, that God had some life-changing revelation for me and I will forever be different because of getting out of bed and going to meet with God in that time and place. But nothing happened (at least nothing life-changing and revelatory). But what did happen is that I rested in knowing that God was all around me and I could just live in that moment with God and know that God is in control and has a plan.
So here is my reminder for you. So many times we get discouraged in our daily walk because we set time aside to meet with God and it seems flat or uneventful. But the next time that happens for you, remember to simply rest in God – rest in the fact that God is all around you and loves you!
Shouldn’t that be enough anyway?
