The reason for the Red Sea in front of you and the Egyptian army behind you is for you to see the ability and Goodness and Love of God right Here and Now!
The reason for the mountain in front of you and the insurmountable problems you face is for you to see the Provisions, Goodness and Love God has for you right Here and Now and in so seeing this Faith grows like a weed!
“Then The Lord said to Moses” – Exodus 14:1
The reason why Moses had all those years of preparation and Jesus didnt start His ministry until He did is simply that they were in GUD – God’s University of the Desert!
This can take a lifetime to attend and sadly most never graduate but the preparation is crucial – Moses would not have known God’s voice and been able to follow His direction by the Red Sea without it!
Would you like to hear His voice more clearly? Then Be Still in the midst of the storm!
Would you like to have manna from Heaven? Then rest in the Faith that it will be there and keep resting till it is!
For me one gift that God has allowed me to have a practice in is meditation! My meditation practice blesses me daily and I believe needs to be taught in churches and will be once the church begins to grasp Grace!
Meditation is Not just something other religions do – it IS simply the practice of Being Still and knowing He IS God!
This is how I start my day:
I have a quiet room and chair that I go to sit in before the world wakes up. Once there, in the still and quiet I breathe in and out the scripture or a prayer or I just listen to my breathing and/or what is being said in my head – the main thing is I get still and listen to God!
Try this: Find a quiet time and place when you probably wont be disturbed for at least 15-20 minutes. Sit in a chair where you can sit on the edge of the seat with the chair against an inside wall. While you sit with your back somewhat relaxed but but straight, close your eyes, relax your jaw and just:
Breathe in and say:
“Abba”
Breathe out and say:
“I belong to you”
Or here is another one I enjoy:
Breathe in and say:
“Be still and know”
Breathe out and say:
“That you are God”
Or here is another one:
Breathe in and say:
“I AM Here and Now”
Breathe out and say:
“With you”
The main thing is experiment – whatever brings you closer to Love, Trust and Faith in Him – roll with it and know that it is Great!
