Alone with God

Psalm 139:2 "You know when I sit and when I rise; you perceive my thoughts from afar."

"Then God said, 'Let us make man in our image ..." (Genesis 1:26)"i am" seeks to walk humbly with "I AM" (Micah 6:8)

When I go to my secret place . . .
When "i am" is alone with YOU . . .
Though the fog approaches all around me and dims the light from above . . .
I will take refuge in this place.
YOUR divine power dwells here . . .
YOU listen to me in this quiet space, at this present time in all of time that YOU have created.
YOU meet this lowly creature whom YOU have chosen, rescued, redeemed, and understand.
I find peace here.
Thank YOU, Father, for loving me.
I need YOU.
YOU replace that which has been poured out to others . . .
I get so drained which is my spiritual act of service, a living sacrifice that is acceptable to YOU.
And in this giving to others day in . . . day out, abiding in YOU, my God restoreth my soul . . .
HE meets my every need . . .
HE is my portion WHEN I go to my secret place.

When is the last time you were there?
Do you miss the sound of the air?
Can you taste he wind that crosses your nostrils?
YOUR Creator understands your needs in truth.
HE knows and comprehends what you are thinking right now as you read this! (Psalm 139:2b) . . .
Refresh yourself my friend.
Recharge the battery . . .
It will cost you all but a little "time" . . .
How much "recharging" depends on how long you visit HIM in the "secret place."

Love, Chappy

Please pray with me:

Dear Lord,
Thank you for giving us a place a refuge. A place to be alone with you. Thank you father for your perfect love.

Thank you father for restoring my soul and meeting my every need. Fill us with Your Holy Spirit and help us to remember to walk in Your light wherever we go so that others may see You. Lord, help us to continue serving others with a pure heart. Help us to remember to return to our secret place, alone with You.

In Jesus Name - Amen

Love,
Chappy
