Alone Time with God & Creation

by Jose Herrera  
7/09/2007 / Devotionals


My Prayer:

Father, here I am waiting on you. I simply want to be with you in your presence! Experience, encounter you! I am here waiting to see what you will say as we spend time in each other's presence. Father and son conversing and spending time! What are the things in your mind and heart that you want to share with me Father?

His Whispered Response:

"Enjoy the stillness, the quietness! Enjoy and take in my beautiful creation as they utter worship toward me: the birds singing, the wind blowing! Take it all in, this is my creation! They are all expressions of who I am: Your Lord!"

My Response:

Father, there is a feeling of serenity and peace that I feel and sense all around me, Lord! It's as if time is standing still!

(The Holy Spirit prompted me to read Psalm 104 I read it twice and on the second read through, he led me to stop at verse 13b: "The earth is satisfied with the fruit of His works.")

What do you want to share with me as we spend time meditating with each other?

His Whispered Response:

"Take time to enjoy life, take time to enjoy nature! I created it all for you! It is my gift to you! Enjoy, see it and take it all in my son! It is truly an expression of my love to you. Find contentment with the things of nature!"

"People are fearful of spending time looking in nature, they are so fearful of taking time to look at what I have given them."

My Question:

Lord why are they so fearful and what are they so fearful of?


His Whispered Response:

"They are fearful of wasting time. People have such hectic lives and they are not taking in the gift of life. Yes, life is but a vapor, but that wasn't meant for people to live their lives recklessly fast without a care in the world and of the effects it would have on them and their loved ones. It's about valuing your life and appreciating the gift I have given you! Living life with purpose! Take time to take life in! Breathe in life! Take time to breathe in the breath of life! It's not about soaking in the world but soaking in the beauty of life! This whole planet is a reflection of who I am! The clouds speak of me, the sky speak of me! Birds, trees, grass it all comes from within me, my son! It's about taking everything I have ever given you and letting it feed you! Letting it transform you! Trust that I will not lead you astray, but I will and shall keep you on the path of light! Yes, be satisfied, content, happy and joyful with the fruit of my work! It's for you to eat of and share! Cease striving and know I am God! I am God everywhere! Take in my nature and enjoy the peace you are receiving!"

(I sat quietly in my back patio simply enjoying and gazing at the fruit of God's work, his creation. Just simply receiving his beautiful melodies sung by the birds, the wind dancing upon my face and the clouds rolling by through the blue sky.)

My Response:

God you are truly amazing! If we as a people may only simply take time to reflect on the vastness of your glory, we can surely encounter you even in the midst of your living word: The planet! It speaks volumes of who you are! I thank you Abba, for sharing this time with me and for opening my eyes to see you through your creation. I love you!

Your Son,
Joe
