Day 12

I absolutely adore the quiet. I used to think I had PTSD because I drink up silence like a runner grabs a bottle of water during a marathon. Guzzling each drop, not wanting to miss a single refreshing moment. But then I realized Stillness Time is sort of like a runner’s high. It cleanses me from the pressures of voices and conversations, and decision, and glances. When I’m surrounded by silence, I immediately reach out for His presence. I’m always surprised by how the Triune are presented to me. I reach out for Papa, and Jesus walks in, or I see Jesus’ feet and the holes where the nails were, and Holy Spirit touches my right ear. However His presence comes, the quiet grows more silent as I intently seek the Lord. Then I stop seeking and settle. I am sitting and the weight of His presence just settles me.

Today let go of your expectations, your pursuit and feel the outpouring of His Spirit. Drink it in as you run this life journey. Discover how he’ll walk into your life in unique and intimate ways. His presence in your stillness time will manifest in actions or images designed just for you. Stay thirsty for him. Psalm 119:32 I run after you with delight in my heart, for you will make me obedient to your instructions.
