Rendezvous

It is one thing to be aware of God and to have knowledge of His power and work. It is quite another to intentionally walk into His presence.

Though I run to meet Him with expectation, His presence causes me to slow and then stop. Stillness. I bow before His glory. The transition between the world and His presence is unmistakable. Time and space become inconsequential; there is no worry or fear. My senses become hypersensitive: sight is crisper, scents are sweeter, sound is soothing, taste is richer, and touch is deeper penetrating flesh to spirit. I come only for Him because in Him I find renewal, strength, and peace. He is my rest. He is my rendezvous.

Psalm 63:1-6

O God, you are my God,
       earnestly I seek you;
       my soul thirsts for you,
       my body longs for you,
       in a dry and weary land
       where there is no water.

I have seen you in the sanctuary 
      
and beheld your power and your glory.

Because your love is better than life, 
      
my lips will glorify you.

I will praise you as long as I live, 
      
and in your name I will lift up my hands.

My soul will be satisfied as with the richest of foods; 
      
with singing lips my mouth will praise you.

On my bed I remember you; 
      
I think of you through the watches of the night.

Psalm 62:1-2

My soul finds rest in God alone;
       my salvation comes from him.

He alone is my rock and my salvation; 
      
he is my fortress, I will never be shaken.
