Embracing God's Presence: Finding Identity and Peace
If we want to experience what is that God designed in me? What is that identity he's given me? It requires that we first understand how do we be in the presence of God, because these are great ideas. Oh, I'm his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus, to do good works. Great right. But how do I experience that?
Imagine taking a moment each day to truly be present, not just in your surroundings, but in the presence of something greater. In this episode of 'Braving the Journey', Zach Mathers dives into the practice of being with God and how it can profoundly shape our lives. Zach explores the idea that we are all unique creations, each designed with a specific purpose by God.
To fully understand our identity, he argues, we need to learn how to be in God's presence. Drawing inspiration from Henry Norwin and Brother Lawrence, Zach highlights the importance of carving out uninterrupted time to sit quietly with God. It's a practice that, much like physical exercise, requires dedication and consistency at first but becomes more natural over time. Zach encourages listeners to find a quiet space and spend a few minutes each day simply being with God.
By doing so, he believes we can uncover our true identity and experience the beauty of God's design in our lives. Tune in for an episode that blends spiritual insights with practical advice on nurturing a deeper relationship with God.
