Return to God’s Presence

A Season of Abiding

I don’t know about you guys, but I’ve been very distracted. I started this year with fire, vision, dreams, and a plan. Then I started to feel the weight and pressure of life, and I got sidetracked. I’ve been preoccupied with parenting, work, and financial matters, and with all of that, my daily touchpoints with the Lord have fallen off, and Life in God has been impacted. And I know the answer and solution: return to God’s presence.

Maybe you are in the same boat as me and you just need some encouragement and a reminder that you are not alone.Shoot, I need it too, so send me a message and tell me that I am not alone.

It May Look Different This Time

This return may not look like the last one. Maybe you were waking up at 4 am, on fire, in the Word before the sun came up, and now all you can do is stay up later, dragging yourself through a few tired minutes before bed. Yet, there is grace for this season. There is mercy because God just wants us. He wants our availability, our willingness, our time, and devotion, and He will meet us, but it’s only going to happen when we show up, stop running, and stop making excuses.

So, it’s okay; it may look different and feel different, but it also looked and felt different when you first got started. Return to Him anyway.

How To Realistically Return To God’s Presence?

Return To Prayer

The small, simple, quiet moment you have, like sitting on the toilet, in the shower, or late at night when everyone is asleep, take a moment to sit in quiet, to invite the Holy Spirit in, and then from those moments begin to find intentional time to spend with Him.

Return to His Word

Get back to Bible reading. You don’t have to go looking for the right verse that’s going to answer or solve your problems because the right verse will find you. The charge is for you to keep reading.

Return to His Presence

Return to the secret place, daily, and often, even when you don’t feel like it, and even when you don’t want to. Do not allow your valid and invalid excuses to keep you from God’s presence.

Return to Community

Some of you have left community, or maybe you’ve been out of small group for a season, and you feel isolated, lonely, or distant. This is your confirmation to return. Make time to connect with your brothers and sisters. Make time to fellowship; do not go another day without community.

A Season of Straight Abiding

This is really a season of abiding. We have to abide when faced with pressure, when you feel stagnant, when you’re sleepy, when it feels uncomfortable. Abiding even when you feel disappointed, attacked, or offended because it’s in this place that we meet Him, we encounter Him, we experience His peace and presence ever the more.

Abide even when nothing about it feels new, to allow the Lord to do something new.
