How do you enter God’s presence?

This question… “How do you enter God’s presence?”,  is so beautiful and has been asked of me many times lately. The answer from God’s Word is so refreshing…

1. Be still. Get quiet to allow Him to lead you.

Ps 46:10
“Be still, and know that I am God;
I will be exalted among the nations,
I will be exalted in the earth.”

Ps 23
You lead me to streams
of peaceful water,
and you refresh my life…
You are with me…
Your kindness and love
will always be with me
each day of my life,
and I will live forever
in your house, Lord.

2. Enter His gates by giving thanks, giving praise to Him, singing for joy!

Psalm 100:1,2,4

Shout for joy to the Lord, all the earth.
Worship the Lord with gladness;
come before him with joyful songs…
Enter his gates with thanksgiving
and his courts with praise;
give thanks to him and praise his name.

(Helpful hint: Try this… Get alone somewhere quiet. Start by listing 3 things you are thankful for. Say ‘thank you’ to God. “Thank you God for…”)

Be Still :)

Be still and know that God is God and… you are not.
This truth is the best thing you can fully embrace.
He holds the world together, not you. 🙂
What He wants to do in and through you is far greater – if you trust Him – than if you try to control and hold your world together.

I want to bless you with a video invitation from one of my online mentors.

Come away from rush and hurry…
You and I are invited to do life not out of an anxious to-do list,
but out of a place of rest and peace…

Find a quiet place,
enjoy the peaceful music,
the words and questions to stir your heart and mind…

Rest Deeper.
Live Fuller.
Lead Better.

I first ‘met’ Alan Fadling online through Sabbatical topics and have chatted with him via Twitter. I very much enjoyed his book: An Unhurried Life: Following Jesus’ Rhythms of Work and Rest

As I meet with clients, taking them into the still place with Jesus is our starting place. When we still our hearts, lean into hear His voice… miracles and healing begin. 🙂
