Not didn't feel like singing at all, there was no song in my heart. I couldn't have worshiped if I’d tried. Though, I kept singing, and singing, until
words gradually transferred to words like "Jesus is
Victory".
Still not feeling
words, however repetitious it was, I kept singing until
words gradually began to take on power. With each degree that I could better feel God's presence,
burden felt lighter and lighter until
evil presence was gone.
There's a song about things fading in His presence and
things of this world growing strangely dim, in
light of His glorious face … absent in body, present in spirit. Sometimes, God allows such circumstances to call us to take a vacation; to go away and just be with Him.
Once, I think I spent a whole week at escaping with God. It was so wonderful; I didn't want to come back. It is a guaranteed fix for stress related high blood pressure. © by Joyce C.
