Shalom,

We read Psalm 65 today in our Spoken Word Bible Reading Plan and I LOVE this first verse!

1 To You belongs silence (the submissive wonder of reverence which bursts forth into praise) and praise is due and fitting to You, O God, in Zion; and to You shall the vow be performed.

We often speak if the 'secret place' of His presence and the time that we should be spending there. This verse is just so powerful in that it shows that the source of all of our REAL praise and worship begins in the place of really becoming aware of HIS presnece IN US! Psalm 46:10 tells us this:

10 Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth. KJV

In the stillness and the silence we come to know His voice and to be aware of His presence! And from THIS comes TRUE praise and worship! In SPIRIT, by HOLY SPIRIT in us and in TRUTH by the Word of God! Here is one of my favorite songs by Hillsong called "Song For His Presence":

Shalom in Him!
