Standing Barefoot

 

And the commander

  of the LORD's army

        said to Joshua,

"Take off your sandals

              from your feet,

for the place where

  you are standing is holy."

 

              Joshua 5. 15

(This place is sacred?

Are you kidding me?

Wherever God guides us,

wherever we are

     is profound in His sight

     and in His purposes.

It is a strategic place,

a moment in time,

unanticipated situation,

unexpected circumstances,

and right opportunity

to worship Him

  in all we do and say,

  even in our attitudes.

His Presence

   is not just to be recognized,

but to be realized

      in multiple dimensions.

We are placed here

  to be faithful to His name,

not just for His purposes,

although there are more

   than can be counted.)

O LORD,

We take off our shoes,

and put down our agendas,

and come before You,

      to worship.

Help us to realize

    Your Presence in this place,

Your wonder,

        and Your glory.
