So here I am in the place of worship, eyes open, drinking in your strength and glory. In your generous love I am really living at last! My lips brim praises like fountains. I bless you every time I take a breath; My arms wave like banners of praise to you.
Sometimes as we live our every day life we drift towards to do lists, school activites, soccer games, baseball playoffs, school plays, dinner, cleaning, and all the other things in our lives. All of these activities make up our lives and that is what we live everyday. Something happens though if we don't stay connected to our King~ those activities become dry and meaningless. They become just another thing we are to accomplish that day. We lose ourselves in the now mundane things we must do.Those are my circumstances every day of my life...those are not going to change. What changes for me is my heart, my perspective on them. When I find myself in that place that I drifted off into I begin to feel sad, disconnected and wonder is this what my life is all about. My life becomes dull and without color and becomes just another day I play a part in. It is a drabby place to be and we can all become lost in that black and white world.
When I read Psalm 63 God reminded me once again of His faithfulness to my heart. He reminded me of His BEAUTIFUL love for me. He reminded me of ALL that I have and ALL that I am and it makes me want to PRAISE Him. As I sat in His presence He brought color to my life. Look at verse 2 where it says "So here I am in the place of worship, eyes open, drinking in your strength and glory...notice it says, "So here I am in the place of worship..." David had to position himself before the Lord and not only position himself, he opened his eyes, he was ready and expected to hear from God. Then you see David follow with "drinking in your strength and glory" We never leave God's presence empty handed, NEVER!
When we sit in God's presence each day His truth changes our perspective from a drab, black and white script to the most beautiful and colorful story you have ever been a part of. We must though take that step every day, seeking God and His Truth, seeking the color for our everyday lives. He is so beautiful, can't you begin to see the color radiate in your life...
