Sit

The aspect of sitting has been on my mind lately.  As I have mentioned before, I enjoying going to praise chapel on Tuesday and just sitting as I listen to the praise music, letting them rest on me and come from my mind and heart.  Similarly, I enjoy sitting to rest in the evenings after a days work, and as I mentioned in my previous post I miss sitting at a cafe to work while surrounded by people. 

There is something important about sitting and resting.  As I day dreamed about sitting at a cafe I found myself envisioning myself doing just that at a cafe around the world as I scrolled Instagram.  


Similarly, I wanted to take the aspect of sitting, something I relish, and look at how the Bible talks about it.  Here's what I found...

2 Samuel 7:18 Then David the king went in and sat before the LORD, and he said, "Who am I, O Lord GOD, and what is my house, that You have brought me this far?  This verse challenged me even more as I head to praise chapel each week. 









...and lifted us up from the grave into glory along with Christ, where we sit with him in the heavenly realms—all because of what Christ Jesus did.

Luke 14:33
So no one can become my disciple unless he first sits down and counts his blessings—and then renounces them all for me.
I was a little taken aback by this one as I know I've done a little longing for comforts this past week.  It's true, sometimes God calls us to give up blessings to do the work He has for us.  
Psalm 47:8 God reigns over the nations, God sits on His holy throne.This one encouraged me, reminding me that God has everything in hand.
Here's to more sitting in a wonderful way.
