Learning to take time in the presence of God! {Seems an elderly task}

The first thing to go in cyberspace is taking time

Time to read, seems tedious. Time to reason and form an argument, as well. Time to meditate is swiftly becoming like the Latin language, dead! I think.

It made me say that perhaps like the salt that engulfed Lots wife, our gracious God marks the place where the Spirit leaves a culture, by killing the language right there. Have you lost the time to meditate? Have you lost the ability to meditate on Christ for a whole day? Have you lost the ability to sit in a portion of God's goodness for a minute? New Yorkers have always had their own time calculations. "Takes too long, next!" Do you have to take so much time and attention on anything but a construction project? Let the professionals do it. The professionals cannot construct your soul, to grow in the grace of God. If you don't take the time to devise and learn the structures and the mathematical calculations that will project your soul from your sinful estate into the heavenlies, the professionals may have to scrap the project.{ a horrible thought!}

Learning to tarry before the Lord!

Taking time before the Lord to know that the truths heard are the truths received into the soul. Christ can and may confirm your soul in a moment's time, but like a diet, it didn't take a minute to get into this point in your sin. God may make you tarry in your lack of assurance and that may be the case. If you are not willing to wait on God for his spiritual confirmation of your condition, perhaps you are not ready to leave the presence of the Lord. Come back to the spot where the Lord has met you and tarry there until your heart confirms that He is holding you in His unbreakable grasp. Don't let your faith die, like the Latin language. Remember Lots Wife! God can break the grasp of even the pillar of salt! Trust HIM!
