"Here I am, Your invited guest - it's incredible! I enter Your house; here I am, prostrate in your inner sanctum, waiting for directions to get me safely through enemy lines." - Psalm 5:7-8 (MSG)
I love this Scripture! Not only are we welcome in God's personal space, but He's invited us as His guest to come in and be with Him intimately. He WANTS to spend time with us so He can give us the directions how to do life and not only do life, but do it well. Even when we are surrounded by the enemy on all sides, the Father knows exactly what we need to do to get through safely and effectively.
You all know me. I LOVE to worship. But the time you see me worshipping at Church is just the tip of the iceberg. When I am alone with God, I get down on my face and get still before Him. That's what the word "prostrate" means; getting face down on the floor and humbling yourself in the presence of God. Do that this week. Take the time and effort to shut off the phone, turn off the tv, shut your door, put on some good praise and worship music, and get in the presence of God. I know if we all did this, the face of our XS church services would change as well as the whole dynamic of Church. If you want to see change in you from what you've developed yourself to be to who God has created you to be, the first thing you must do is go where you're invited, get in His space, and then wait for instructions from the Master.
