Stand In His Presence - 1 Kings 19: 11

God's instructions are simple enough
asking that we would just obey
knowing the Lord has our best at heart
trust His words all of the way

God says go and stand, so simple
right on the mountain to be seen
a lesson to be under His word of truth
every week shows you're truly keen

Being casual in your approach
God's blessing will be a miss
so make the Lord first priority
then His presence you'll relish

The Lord is about to pass by
as you stand upon the mountain
there you'll meet His very presence
drinking at the eternal fountain

Be in your place of holy worship
giving to God your sacrifice of praise
be holy humble and pure in heart
bring to Him exaltation to raise

(“Go out and stand on the mount before the Lord.” And behold, the Lord passed by.)
1 Kings 19: 11a

We should never be afraid to express our faith standing up and being counted. Just back from Norway and had the pleasure of meeting Anne-Lise in Haugesund. Hope you're keeping well Gordon. Enjoy your weekend. Tom
