The presence of the Lord is the safest place in this whole wide world. For it is a place of tranquility, serenity and peace. In today’s fast-paced living of deadlines, targets and quotas, many are suffocating in stressful environments and conditions. It perpetually leaves very little time for us to rest let alone time for family, friends, hobbies and recreation. Many competing demands require our endless attention. Yet in the midst of all that is happening in and around our lives, we hear the Lord beckoning us to enter into His rest.
His presence drowns out all other competing voices and demands. In His awesome presence, He brings us comfort and strength, hope and joy, restoration and wholeness. Our sole desire is to hear the voice of the Lord, the voice that assures, affirms and builds us up to excellence and greatness. His presence strengthens us to persevere in the face of unimaginable trials and tribulations.
The Lord calls us to deeper commitments in loving and serving Him, He pours Himself into us so that what flows out of us reaches the deepest needs of people. In times of our greatest desperation and need, a miracle takes place and we find grace to love and serve without reservation. The love of God compels us to do the impossible. The love of God motivates us to go another mile all for His glory.
