Take off your sandals, for the place where you are standing is holy ground.—Exodus 3:5
It was one of those moments…my
senses were more alert, more intensified, more attuned to the mysteries that
swirl in and around us, more aware of God's presence. It was about 7:30 in the
morning, when I opened the door to go to work, the brilliant rays of the
morning sunrise came bursting through our neighbor’s tree, directly into
my eyes.
I paused, amazed at the beauty, I
moved slightly to the right and I couldn’t see the sun’s rays, moved slightly
to the left and I couldn’t see the sun’s rays, but as I returned to the center
point, for what seemed to be several minutes, those rays shown straight into
the eyes of my heart, and I suddenly became conscious of His Presence. I stood
very still, almost frozen in time, actually not wanting the moment to end,
thanking the Lord for the beauty He created, and for drawing my eyes and my
heart to appreciate Him all over again.
I shared my experience with a few
people…they just laughed it off, kind of made fun of me for thinking it was
anything special, but in the innermost part of my heart, I knew it was the
Lord. I was totally captivated by the stunning beauty of those rays, perfectly
symmetrical, glowing so intensely. I even spoke out loud saying, Lord
Jesus, Thank You, Thank You, You did that for me! Just for me!
The memory of that moment makes me
crave Him more, remembering the experience makes me yearn for more of His
personal touch in my life, makes my senses truly alert, more attuned to the
mystery that is our Savior. I'm looking forward to experiencing Him more and
more, alive and active in my life every moment of every day...Praise His Holy
Name!
Seek, inquire of and for the Lord, and crave Him and His strength (His might and inflexibility to temptation); seek and require His face and His presence [continually] evermore.—Psalm 105:4 Amplified
Take a few minutes to be encouraged by this wonderful hymn by Bill and Gloria Gaither, We are Standing on Holy Ground…
When I walked through the door I sensed God’s presence…We are standing on holy ground and I know that there are angels all around…
