Todays Devotion - December 9th Sit Before the Lord Then went King David in, and sat before the LORD. II Samuel 7:18 (KJV) I love this verse. The Bible makes it clear that King David was a man after Gods own heart. David knew the heart of God and wrote many of the beautiful Psalms that we have come to love. In todays passage we see David was moved deeply by God and had to talk to Him. What I love is that David went into the Tabernacle and sat before the Lord. This is the same Tabernacle where the sons of Aaron died because they did not follow protocol. The Priests could only come into the presence of the Lord and do exactly what was set down in the law. No more, no less. And here was David, like a child before his Father, sitting, no doubt in deep reverence but also in love. Love for His heavenly Father. And because of Jesus and His sacrifice for us, we too have become children of God. We get to sit in His presence any time we desire. The Lord bids us to come to Him, worship Him, share with Him, pray to Him. Today, come to God. Sit before Him, enjoy His presence. Share with Him your burdens, your concerns. Express to Him your joy and your love. What a glorious privilege is yours, to sit before God Almighty. Todays Prayer Dear Heavenly Father, I sit before You in deep wonder and worship. Who am I that You would allow me to know You and yet You do. Your love for me is immeasurable. I sit in worship and adoration. I sit in humility and praise Your Holy name. You are my God and I sit humbly before You. In You Holy Name I pray, amen.
