Knowing; Not Feeling God's Presence
Knowing; Not Feeling God’s Presence
For years my heart had yearned for a way to truly know God’s voice and to know He was with me beyond my believing I could feel Him near.
"Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid. (John 14:27NKJV)
A Commitment to becoming disciplined in the areas of solitude and silence has had a profound impact on my life. It offers the opportunity to hear the Divine Whisperer. The simple habit of sitting every day, in the same place, in silence and waiting upon the Lord can fill us with a desire to know Jesus on deeper level and to be able to discern His voice from the many distractions in life. In spending this time with the Lord we no longer doubt His presence when our physical senses fail to speak the truth and try to convince us that He is nowhere to be found. Spending time with Jesus each day, we simply know He is with us. It’s no longer a feeling but an understanding, a concrete, solid knowing. Sewing this truth into our heart allows us the peace and understanding needed to grow in our walk with the Lord and is surely an immeasurable blessing.
If you are feeling a bit disconnected from the Lord, try this simple discipline. Go to the same place each day; Read God’s Word, pray and then … listen.
It’s a guarantee you will be blessed knowing you are in God’s Presence!
Blessings,
