21st century life is always about instant, now, quick….

It has accelerated even beyond the frenzy on the 20th

Even our recreation is something we rush to

We flit from one avocation to another hobby never truly enjoying them

–

So to, our approach to Papa is forced into some timeframe formula

So many chapters a day, so many minutes in prayer

What has happened to lavishing our time and energy on Him

Sometimes we have experienced “extended worship” in special services, but that’s not the norm.

–

Is it this flesh suit which overwhelms our true senses of the spirit?

Is is the rush of daily obligations and pressing schedules?

Why do we stop up our ears when He calls to us to join Him?

Is it really the best decision to follow the urgencies of life and ignore the wooing call of the Holy Spirit?

–

There is no hurry with our Papa

We are always welcome in His presence

So rushing in is never a problem

However, It is always best to linger there

–

We speak of soaking in His presence, what is it?

Tea bags soak to release their wonderful flavors

We soak in mineral baths to absorb the healing essence

Fabric is soaked in dye to take on the nature of the dye

–

Our best time spent is soaking in His company

Resting against His chest hearing His heartbeat

Listening to His whispers of love and comfort

Lingering in His fragrance enfolded in sheer bliss

–

I heard recently that we should follow these three guidelines when we are with Papa:

Speak slowly

Listen Slowly

Leave Slowly

–

Never forget that He is with us always, as we are the temple of the Lord
