It’s the heavenly work we are called to because it requires our active participation

Years ago I was an avid backpacker, the ability to go anywhere and have all I needed in my pack was what I thought of as true freedom. There were day hikes, long weekends and even extended trips for months. But common to all hikes was the fact that it required putting on foot in front of the other again and again. Up hill and down hill, along rushing creeks, through fields and forests, down dusty roads and over rocky paths. But the rewards over the next hill or in the next canyon were well worth the exhaustion at the end of the day.

Seeking His presence and companionship is the goal of spending time in meditation, worship and in the heavenly realms. The amazing thing is that unlike the hard work of backpacking, walking with the Lord brings refreshing all day long. The disciplines of prayer, meditation, speaking and singing in the spirit and actively engaging with Papa are all part of daily walk. Not duties, but marvelous privileges that bring us into the glorious reality of heaven now. Experiencing heaven is not a sometime in the future thing but it is part of that daily walk. A walk that brings us into the true freedom only found in Jesus.

“If you wait at wisdom’s doorway, longing to hear a word for every day, joy will break forth within you as you listen for what I’ll say. For the fountain of life pours into you every time that you find me, and this is the secret of growing in the delight and the favor of the Lord.”
