Time with God

There are different ways to spend time with God. Praying is spending time talking to God, giving Him praise, asking questions, petitioning for requests for ourself and others. Meditation is thinking on God, or about God, maybe His glory, His power, His great love and goodness.

Time with God that I have in mind is a little different. It’s just you and God, sensing His presence, feeling His presence in your heart, maybe listening for His voice. Not talking to Him, not mediating on who He is, but just being with Him. Just you and God. You, God and nothing else. Not thinking about situations, about other people, or about what you should be thinking about with God. Just you with God. His character will become clear. His righteous will be clear. His strong love for you will be clear.

Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. – James 4:8
