God Meets Us There

 

And stand in the

    Holy Place.....

     2 Chronicles 35. 5

Wherever we are,

among whomever, 

in whatever we are doing

    or struggling with,

is sacred ground,

a place to seek God,

worship Him,

serve every which way we can,

and having done all,

      to stand before Him.

What do we do 

   about the mess we are in,

the hard stuff,

the overwhelming-ness?

Stand in the Holy Place.

God meets us there.

God invites us in,

  a smorgasbord of His strength,

  a refuge from the storm,

that we may know Him more.

Right here.

Right now.

Even in this.

O LORD,

We yearn for Your Presence.

Help us to come to You

            first and foremost,

to realize Your holiness

even in this unexpected place,

and to know Your embrace

 when we need it so badly.

Empower us to stand still

     and know You are God,

to make a stand

         as a witness,

to rise up 

   and hold our ground.

This is no random situation,

  but a divine appointment

  and sacred encounter

for Your glory in this place.

May we run to You

   in this Holy Place

right where we are.
