Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. See I am doing a new thing! Now springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making away in the wildness and streams in the wasteland. Isaiah 43:18-19

In Colossians it talks about that no matter how broken we are there is room for everyone and that everything finds its proper place in God. That's Amazing! So as we listen to the music and poem, let’s enter God’s house and lie everything before him through our confessions & prayers and let God speak to us today.

In Psalm chapter 42 it talks about Gods love being like a roar of a waterfall or like waves sweeping over us knocking us off our feet and being swept along with his currents. There is a challenge there, are we willing to let go and to give everything over to God, to jump in and let him take us where he wants us to go?

Sensing grace was the first chapter that I ever created for the presence project. The verse from Matthew chapter 6 sums up what this project is about, finding a quiet secluded place and being there as simply and as honestly as you can before God. It's in these special moments that I get a sense of who God is, it brings me peace and stillness that is good for my soul.

Rest is important to our well-being that we need to stop occasionally because that is what brings us strength & rest, even God rested!

Psalm 46:10 it says Be Still and Know that I am God. A lot of our times we set aside to pray are filled with requests for God to do things for us, it’s almost like a shopping list. But here in the Psalm it’s saying to be still and know that he is God.
So Today as we listen to the music & poetry inspired by this Psalm let’s just take the time to be still, no list of requests, no agenda and just know that God is God.

In Psalm 27: 4 David asks and seeks one thing and that is to be in God’s presence gazing, eyes fixed on the beauty of God. Just imagine staring at something so beautiful that you can’t take your eyes of it.
Today as we listen to the music & poetry inspired by this Psalm let’s ask the question that David did.
"One thing I ask from the Lord, this only do I seek: that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to gaze on the beauty of the Lord and to seek him in his temple."

Home for a lot of people is a place of safety. To feel at home is to feel relaxed, stress free, a place where we can just be ourselves and be loved and accepted. Although it does have it’s challenges especially as now I am trying to home school, that’s certainly not stress free! For others sadly home represents something a lot worse, the totally opposite to what I have been talking about - I just can’t imagine what they must be going through at this time.
In Psalm 91 verses 1 to 2 it talks about God being our refuge and our fortress.
Today as we listen to the music & poetry inspired by this notion of God being our security spend time praying, giving your worries & concerns over to God and just sit and be still in his presence. Also being mindful of the people where their home isn’t a refuge and a place of safety.
