What if we : Hide Ourselves In Christ

“O God, I have tasted Thy goodness, and it has both satisfied me and made me thirsty for more. I am painfully conscious of my need of further grace. I am ashamed of my lack of desire. O God, the Triune God, I want to want Thee; I long to be filled with longing; I thirst to be made more thirsty still. Show me Thy glory, I pray Thee, that so I may know Thee indeed. Begin in mercy a new work of love within me. Say to my soul, ‘Rise up, my love, my fair one, and come away.’ Then give me grace to rise and follow Thee up from this misty lowland where I have wandered so long. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.” AW Tozer

I want a lot of things in life, those both tangible and unseen. I also desire to be certain ways— like to live in a WILLINGNESS and to glorify God.

There’s plenty of flippant language about failure and backward movement in our christian lives…but how do we get out of the human rut…how do we actually be changed?

I believe the beginnings of this is to hide ourselves in Christ.

What does that mean? I don’t really mean to hide from people or in a room for a while.

As the Psalmist puts it in Psalm 32:7 “You are my hiding place; you will protect me from trouble and surround me with songs of deliverance.”

The hiddenness I’m talking about is to be in the deep with God. In close valuable relationship.

There’s a certain knowing and understand that comes in being close and confident in Christ. It’s as if the more you understand the more clearly you see Him working in your life.

What if we considered Him in the everyday normal day, leaving space for the Holy Spirit to speak and in-turn navigate our lives.

What would that look like?

This is a challenge for me too in this season.
