So, the Lord showed me a picture. Me sitting on the couch. On my hands. I had heard of this technique before from a friend. And also, Joseph Prince. Not a new concept.
The Lord wants me to sit and wait on Him. Sit and be quiet. Sit and lean in. To be OK with just me and Him. Silent. Not alone. Not left out. Not too much. Not unsupported.
But sitting on my hands is labor. Because I would rather phone a friend, eat the cake, drink the drink, phone another friend, cry,stomp my feet, scream out loud, eat a bag of chips, place blame on others or my past, surround myself with busyness, and cause chaos. Seek sympathy.
I would rather have my own goals, ideas, dreams and solutions. Worldly and self-focused and perfectly sensible.
But He says sit. Be intentional with your hands clearly tucked away. Ask Him first. Bring it all to His feet. Much more than just laying it down but, bring it to Him. His attention!
The focus is key. Focus on the relationship with Him and let Him be my first thought. My first call. My first choice. It can be hard guys Resting in Him takes thought and intention. That’s why He calls me to practice.I want to be a healthy Christ follower in every aspect, so I choose to listen. Lord help me focus my ears, thoughts, heart, and soul on what You have to say!!
