Then King David went in, sat before the LORD, and said, “Who am I, O Lord GOD, and what is my house, that You have brought me this far? — 2 Sam 7:18 BSB

We can meet with the Lord anywhere, simply by shutting out the world and looking up into our Father’s face. Even in the midst of a crowd, we can be alone with God.

We can commune with Him through His creation:

The sweet flowers along the path whisper tender thoughts of God.

The sea speaks of His power.

The deep blue sky reminds us of His peace.

The mountains tell us of His stability and unchangeableness.

But there are also other ways to enter God’s presence.

When we open our Bible with a reverent heart and an open ear, God speaks to us through the sacred words.

When we enter our closet of prayer and shut the door, we are truly sitting before Him. In prayer, we bow before Christ, lying at His feet so close that we can touch the hem of His garment and feel His hand upon our troubled hearts. How near we draw to our Savior in such moments, and how His touch thrills and heals us!
