The time we spend alone with God each day we often experience to be the best part of the day. Jesus himself sought time away from the rest of the world to be alone with his Father. ( Mark 1:35, 6:46, Luke 5:16, 6:12, 9:18) Sometimes the beauty of this time with God outshines the prospects of the rest of the day and we say with Peter, ”Lord, it is good for us to be here” ( Mark 9:5) Let’s stay here all day! Now is the dwelling of God among men. ( Revelation 21: 3) The universe does not contain God. God does not need anything from us. Parents don”t need gifts from their children. But a child’s gift does bless the parent. When we praise God, we build with our words and our actions a place for God to inhabit on the earth, in our places. This blesses God.
Make a map of your places and times. Wherever, whenever you enter into praise, there you have built a dwelling for God among us.
Bless the Lord O my soul.
What a privilege God offers us if we are willing in our times with our words to build his temple in the rhythms of our days.
