Every bush that is in the wilderness is pretty much the same where Moses was; ordinary bushes, but what set it apart was the Presence of God upon that bush. What sets us apart is the presence of the Almighty in and upon our lives.
The Scribes and the Pharisees knew the scriptures but did not recognize the Lord when He came because there was no intimacy with Him.
The children of Israel saw the manifestations of God continually, the cloud by day, the fire by night, manna at their doorsteps, water from a rock, deliverances from their enemies, but turned their hearts away worshiping an idol of a bull and not rust in the Lord when the spies went into Caanan because they themselves did not have the intimacy with the Lord. Scriptures says they knew the acts of God, but Moses knew His ways.
Holiness means to be set apart for sacred use. It is being in the presence of the Lord and allowing the Spirit of the Lord to overshadow you and envelop you. Being still in His presence, the anxiety, the thoughts that go to and fro, the busyness but allowing His Spirit to speak in the depths of you and giving God time to speak into the depths of you, empowering you to live from His Spirit.
As we enter His presence and feel we need just to be quiet so that He as God can overshadow us with Himself, God longs to reveal Himself to fill us with Himself to. Waiting on God gives Him time in His own way and divine power to come to us. Before we pray, bow quietly before God and realize who He is, how near He is, He can and will help. Be still and allow His Holy Spirit to waken and stir in your soul absolute dependence and confident expectation. Wait upon God as a living being as the living God who notices you.
No Christian ever comes into God's best things who does not, upon the Godward side of his life, learn to walk alone with God. All the spiritual senses alive, alert, expectant, separated unto Him.
My prayer is that I might be conduit of the presence of God in the lives of people, a vehicle to release as a channel the presence of God into lives. To release the presence of God into lives; to make room for the presence of God.
