Upper Room

10/9/10 Doing some catch up reading from The Upper Room devotional in order to keep “on the same page” with Daddy, I noticed several things. First, this little publication and my church, First Evangelical, are celebrating 75 years of existence. Both this guide and my church emphasize the importance of using prayer and Scripture for lectio devina. (sacred reading)---these aspects of time with the Lord which are intended to promote communion with Him.

Then I noticed a sub title, “Your Place to Meet God.” There are lots of places to “meet” God but I’ve found that for seeking His presence, it helps me to have that one special place that will remind me to commune with Him. Just seeing my place “draws” me.

Where do you meet God? One friend actually meets with the Lord in an upper room of her house. Another has a kneeling prayer bench. For the Mexican women of El Llano it was under a prayer scarf on their heads. My “upper room” is just a big old chair downstairs---but it works for me.

D2D--- this next week’s practical application (Dare to Dance) is to find your “upper room” and meet Him there. He’s already there---but a designated place could remind you to join Him.
