Refreshing!!
I never know where I will be when the Lord gives me the thought for the day. Often times is it is on the front porch or I could be talking with someone, or it might be something that I read that was posted by another blogger that triggers something in my heart.
This morning it was while I was praying with my pastor in the prayer room at church and now I am sitting here at Issacks, a local resturant, having a cup of coffee and looking out the window watching people come and go, smelling the freshness of the day that began earlier in the prayer room at church. That too was a time of refreshing.
Last night we had a nice rain, a gentle rain and when I woke in the morning you could smell the freshness, a cleansing in the air. You could take a deep breath and feel refreshed.
That is what it is like when we take time each day to come into the presence of the Lord. As we are still and wait, His presence is like the rain that comes and cleanses. It removes the things that have clogged our minds, our hearts and our spirits and sets us free to enjoy the day that the Lord has given us.
Even in the midst of all that is going on in our lives we can enjoy that peace which passes all understanding, that enables us to pursue the day and allows us to declare that this is the day that the Lord has made, I will rejoice and be glad in it!
Be refreshed today. Breathe in the presence of the Lord and allow Him to refresh, renew and restore you this day!!
Till Later!!
Paul
