Last night I
watched a part of one of those storm chaser programs; you know the ones where
crazy guys drive around trying to take video of tornados touching ground. In
the episode they kept looking at this massively powerful storm formation with a
huge bowl that just would not touch down in the form of a funnel. It would come
partway or maybe even in several funnels, but it just wouldn’t touch down. As
they studied it they also speculated that the reason for it not touching down
was high pressure coming up from the ground as the hot air was held in. In this
case it would be a good thing for people whose lives and property were in
danger. In a spiritual sense, though, maybe the reason God does not unleash
Himself in our hearts and lives is due to our own resistance.
Today in
“Jesus Calling” by Sarah Young I read:
Seek My
Face, and you will find more than you ever dreamed possible. Let Me displace
worry at the center of your being. I am like a supersaturated cloud, showering
Peace into the pool of your mind. My Nature is to bless. Your nature is to
receive with thanksgiving. This is a true fit, designed before the foundation
of the world. Glorify Me by receiving My blessing gratefully.
I am the
goal of all your searching. When you seek Me, you find Me and are satisfied.
When lesser goals capture your attention, I fade into the background of your
life. I am still there, watching and waiting; but you function as if you were
alone. Actually, My Light shines on every situation you will ever face. Live
radiantly by expanding your focus to include Me in all your moments. Let
nothing dampen your search for Me.
When You
said “Seek my face,” my heart said to You, “Your face, Lord, I will seek.”
Psalm 27:8
Before you
know it, a sense of God’s wholeness, everything coming together for goo, will
come and settle you down. It’s wonderful what happens when Christ displaces
worry at the center of your life. Philippians 4:7 (MSG)
