Have you ever glanced at the clock just hoping that you still had a few more minutes to sit at Jesus' feet? Five minutes, you have five minutes before... You know, you are enrapt in His Word, you hear Him clearly speaking through a passage of scripture and you don't want to leave. You want to stay and glean all He has for you. He is so close you feel His breath and you breath Him in. Verse after verse, chapter after chapter, you glance back at the clock, you still have four minutes. How? what? You must have looked at the clock wrong the first time. Grateful you return to His feet, page after page and you are lost to the world around you. Suddenly you wince as you remember the the task master and fear to look up. Four minutes until you have to leave...
The LORD held time, causing the sun to stand still, for Joshua. Though He has not stopped the sun in its tracks, He has held time for me and if you watch expectantly, He holds it for you as well.
The Creator of all things, The Almighty God, The I AM, loves you. He desires a deep and abiding relationship with you. So much so, that if your heart desires to leave not His presence, He will even reach into your world and hold time still to make it happen. So sit with Him till the very last minute.
Joshua 10:12-13
Time A Reminder That I Need To Give Him The TIme To Hold
