This past weekend was our annual trek to Como, CO for three days of camping with family and friends in one of the most beautiful places on earth (more details and photos to come in another post). One of the reasons I love it there is the beauty of beauty of God’s creation. I somehow feel closer to God…or am at least more easily reminded of His glory and power.

One morning as I sat in a chair overlooking a serene pond, blue skies, and majestic mountains; God gave me this passage to meditate on:

Let all that I am wait quietly before God.
Psalm 62:5a, NLT

It’s a great message, but made more so by the passage He gave just before we left:

Listen in silence before me…
Isaiah 41:1a, NLT

I am pretty dense, but even I can’t miss the message here: Listen and Wait. But it’s more than just that…I am to be listening and waiting before God. I am still processing and praying about what this specifically means for my own spiritual walk with Him. I do recognize and admit that there is a lot of “noise” in  my life and spirit right now. It’s hard to hear His voice with so much clutter in my spirit.

So I am asking Him to help me listen…and wait (I am still not sure what for…but that will become clear during the waiting) before Him. I need to slow down. I need to center my thoughts and action and life around Him.

I am listening. I am waiting. Before Him.
