Sitting with the Lord very early this morning. One of those mornings when I woke up and couldn’t go back to sleep. So I just transitioned from my bed to my sitting with the Lord chair. I don’t know but this chair just feels like a safe zone. I immediately sense the comfort of the Holy Spirit when I purpose to quiet myself to listen. It’s been a different kind of week. Haven’t felt the best, been swamped with referrals (such a blessing btw), several commitments pending that require extra thinking time, disappointments as well. Of course things don’t always go as planned. So I needed this time of comfort from the Holy Spirit. A time of just “come to me my child and rest safely in my arms.” Soothing away the “junk” of life and reaffirming how very loved I am. This comfort is not dependent on everything being smooth and going perfectly. This comfort is dependent on the unchanging steadfast love of God. When I come to Him, no agenda other than I need my time with the Lord. Not really asking for anything just sitting here in perfect peace because my mind is on Him! I went outside the other day just to sit in the sunlight. I’d been at my desk all morning and felt I needed a boost. So sometimes I just go sit in the sunlight for rejuvenation. As I sat there and the sunlight warmed my soul, I became very grateful for my relationship with the Lord. That I can sense Him whereever I am. That I feel just that close to Him. Even as I sit now. I feel an intimacy that has evolved over the years as I continue to intentionally draw close to Him. There’s a promise given to us, that when we come close to Him, He will come closer. That when we seek Him, we will find Him. He’s always standing by. We often feel like we wait on the Lord and we do. But what’s so powerfully ministering to me this morning is that He waits on us. He isn’t moved by our inattention. He patiently waits on us to come close. What a blessing this comfort is this morning. He is close to me. He comforts me. I’m safe with Him. The Lord is my shepherd I shall not want. He makes me to lie down in green pasture. He leads me beside the still waters. He restores my soul. He leads me in the path of righteousness for His name sake. Even though I walk through the valley in the shadow of death, I will fear no evil. For He is with me. His rod and His staff, they comfort me. He prepares a table before me in the presence of my enemies. He anoints my head with oil. My cup runs over. Surely goodness and mercy will follow me all the days of my life and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever. The comfort of the Holy Spirit is my safe zone.

Just sharing my morning musings in hopes that you will often enjoy the comfort and safe zone offered to us by the Holy Spirit. He waits for us there!
