Take Time to be Holy

What ever happened to old time holiness? You know, the devoutness of saints now in Heaven. Where can I find people like this? I know I met some of them at the City Mission World conference. They were the men and women from second and third world countries that stood alone with their team, facing the enemy on the front lines, with nothing but the Scripture and their fellowship to bind them together. Not even two cents to rub to their name. If that was us, we'd be complaining that we're broke. But they are just thankful they aren't being persecuted.

I also find this in some older people I know. The ones most people think are "behind the times" and should "get a life." The ones people tend to feel sorry for. But I am drawn to these people who are looking at higher plains, living beyond their circumstances, and following God like He is their best friend. Like He is all that matters. Not just lip service, but heartfelt companionship.

How does one get this kind of devotion? One way is to dwell in the presence of the Almighty. To truly reflect and spend time with Him.

He that dwelleth in the secret place of the Most High
shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. -Psalm 91:1
