Holy Ground

This is a picture during a show I played a month or 2 ago.

It reminds me of what often happens at camp Adventure. When we are in His presence we experience Him; and because of this experience, what happens is that our eyes are better opened to His greatness, His goodness, our need for Him, along with many other possible things. Our gaze is raised to see Him in His glorious splendor. We gain sight into greater depths of His nature. And because of this we can't help but bow in the presence of the King. We are changed in His presence.

For me, sometimes when I worship I walk away from the corporate experience with such a greater picture of the greatness of our God that I have to detach myself from the others that I was just with and find somewhere to fall on my face and personally worship because I'm standing on holy ground and God has moved mightily inside me.

Riley took off his shoes to play the drums in this picture, (you may have to click on it to enlarge and see) and to me it's a picture of what often happens during worship at camp and the worship that took place when Moses took His shoes off too on Mt. Horeb with God and the burning bush.

It's what I'm praying for to happen again, that lives are never again the same and continually growing and moving and falling deeper in love with Jesus because we got to intensely hang out with Him for a week.

Would you join with me in praying for next week?

Would you pray for us during days of July 6th -11th.

"Now Moses was tending the flock of Jethro his father-in-law, the priest of Midian, and he led the flock to the far side of the desert and came to Horeb, the mountain of God. There the angel of the LORD appeared to him in flames of fire from within a bush. Moses saw that though the bush was on fire it did not burn up. So Moses thought, "I will go over and see this strange sight—why the bush does not burn up."When the LORD saw that he had gone over to look, God called to him from within the bush, "Moses! Moses!" And Moses said, "Here I am." "Do not come any closer," God said. "Take off your sandals, for the place where you are standing is holy ground." Then he said, "I am the God of your father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob." At this, Moses hid his face, because he was afraid to look at God." - Exodus 3:1
