So You think you KNOW God?

"You, God, are my God,
   earnestly I seek you;
I thirst for you,
   my whole being longs for you,
in a dry and parched 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.
 I will be fully satisfied as with the richest of foods;
   with singing lips my mouth will praise you." Psalm 63

Take me up oh Lord! Take me up!

To our place where you and I meet. Where you share with me the mysteries of your Word. Here I sit, Oh Lord. Here I sit and wait on you. I am still...and quiet...waiting on you...to speak.

Speak, for your hand maiden is listening.

When was the last time you have just sat in the stillness of the night (or day) and waited on the Lord? In God's Holy written Word He tells us in Psalm 46:10 to,

"Be still, and know that I am God...."

Do you know God?

This verse has been so heavy upon my heart!! I would like to share wit you and welcome  your input!!!

First...

I would like to make note of the words still and know.


First the word still comes from the Hebrew word for abated ~ Raphah (raw-faw') which means to sink down, drop relax or withdraw. 


Next is the word know which comes from the Hebrew word ~ acknowledge ~ Yada' (yaw-dah') Which means, "to know, learn to know" and to know by experience." (personally) 


So, this is my wonder, how can we say we know God if we never take time to sit and be still in His presence? 

We can read about Him. 

We can pray to Him.

We can even worship Him.

But that doesn't necessarily mean we know Him

That just means we know ABOUT Him.

Where is YOUR quiet place with the Lord?

Do you have one?

Any ol' place will do.....the Lord is just waiting for you.
