Abraham had a special place where he met with God. So did Daniel, when his life was threatened: \u2018In his upper room\u2026 he knelt\u2026 three times that day\u2026 and prayed and gave thanks before\u2026 God, as was his custom.\u2019<\/i> (Daniel 6:10 NKJV)<\/p>\n
Jesus, too, had a special place: \u2018Before daylight, He\u2026 departed to a solitary place; and there He prayed.\u2019<\/i> (Mark 1:35 NKJV) <\/p>\n
Here\u2019s an idea: establish a \u2018God place\u2019 in your life. When problems and pressures threaten to overwhelm you, go to your God place. When you need guidance, go to your God place. Hymnist William Walford penned these time-honoured words: \u2018Sweet hour of prayer! Sweet hour of prayer! That calls me from a world of care, and bids me at my Father\u2019s throne make all my wants and wishes known. In seasons of distress and grief, my soul has often found relief; and oft escaped the tempter\u2019s snare, by thy return, sweet hour of prayer!\u2019 <\/p>\n
In the words of Henry Ward Beecher: \u2018Wherever you have seen God pass, mark that spot, and go sit in that window again.\u2019 Your God place can be anywhere,<\/i> but it should be somewhere.<\/i> After you\u2019ve been there a while, a kind of aura will surround it. You\u2019ll create memories of intimate times with God. It will become your sanctuary, which simply means \u2018a place of refuge and safety\u2019. <\/p>\n
David wrote, \u2018Those who live in the shelter of the Most High will find rest in the shadow of the Almighty.\u2019<\/i> (Psalm 91:1 NLT) Call it your God place<\/i>, your secret place<\/i>, your sanctuary<\/i>, or whatever, but establish such a place in your life.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
