Knowing How to Know Him

The last weeks have been tough mentally and spiritually and emotionally for me. So obviously I have been feeling really drained and on top of that being really busy and not getting much sleep. During this time I have found the desire stronger, to want to cuddle up on my Heavenly Father's lap and to just be. In Him. But I struggle to know how to do that. I want to know how to know Him.

This is not an encouragement post. Or an insightful post. Its a post rather to record and 'jot down' the beginning of the realization of a journey that begun when I was born, knowing how to know Him. Knowing how sit on His lap and cuddle. And as I glean from Him and the people He has placed around me, the wisdom and advice of 'knowing how to know Him' I will try to 'jot it down' here.

In it, David was describing the exact same things my heart and soul had been struggling through (maybe in a not so physical way but definitely spiritually). David was crying out to God and putting his trust in Him. He knew God would answer. I got to verse 19 where David's situation began to change and he began to physically see God's hand at work and began to praise Him and write of the things that the Lord had shown Him during His tProxy-Connection: keep-alive

though, "How great is your goodness, which you have stored up for those who fear you, which you bestow in the sight of men on those who take refuge in you." The Father whispered to my heart and showed me that this was a promise to me from Him as well. It completely breathed life into the scripture and I knew how much he cared for me and He was not ignorant to the turmoil in my heart, He heard and He was answering. And He had just given me a bunch of key's in His Word to unlock the Proxy-Connection: keep-alive

ors to victory and peace in my mind and heart through Him. What a perfect start to yet another day to experience His goodness and live for Him.

Psalms 31:19-20 NIV
¹⁹ How great is your goodness,
which you have stored up for those who fear you,
which you bestow in the sight of men
on those who take refuge in you.

²⁰ In the shelter of your presence you hide them
from the intrigues of men;
in your dwelling you keep them safe
from accusing tongues.
