Thin Place

Question to think about: Have you experienced the thin place?

Her time is short.
She has been told that her days are numbered.
Her last days
are
long,
challenging,
and
purposeful.
She knows
time is short
and speaks
carefully.
Each word is
measured,
focused on
the legacy she
leaves behind . . . purposeful living in Christ.
She is present in the presence of God.
She is in the thin place,
a sacred place,
where the presence of God
is undeniable.

How is it possible to experience the thin place? What do people miss when they are unaware of the presence of God?

People stood in the presence of Christ, God with us; however, they did not know they were in the presence of Christ:
Those in the crowd who heard these words were saying, "This has to be the Prophet." Others said, "He is the Messiah!" But others were saying, "The Messiah doesn't come from Galilee, does he? Don't the Scriptures tell us that the Messiah comes from David's line and from Bethlehem, David's village?" So there was a split in the crowd over him. Some went so far as wanting to arrest him, but no one laid a hand on him. (John 7:40-44, The Message)

They did not see the identity of Christ:
Who, although He existed in the form of God, did not regard equality with God a thing to be grasped, but emptied Himself, taking the form of a bond-servant, and being made in the likeness of men. Being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross.(Philippians 2:6-8, NASB)

Seek God first and foremost.
Find the thin place.
Be present in the presence of Christ.

Learning with you to live in the thin place,
