From the womb

"By thee have I been holden up from the womb: thou art he that took me out of my mother's bowels: my praise shall be continually of thee"  (Psalms 71:6 KJV).  Just as a child is born in the womb of the mother, so the child of God is born in the womb of God's sweet presence. Christians are born again when they set themselves to seeking the face of God, but the growth comes when one resides in the deep presence of the Lord. There is no other way to grow in Christ. We must be set apart from all other influences, and get alone with our maker. Great men and women of God do not grow over night. It takes time. In the womb of God, we are protected from the enemy. We recognize God as our strong tower and refuge. Inside the womb, we learn how to trust in Him and how to praise Him continually in the storms of life. It is there in the womb that God gives us our first breath. The Holy Spirit is breathed from our Father into our souls, making us living beings ready for all that the world has to come against us. "But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly" (Matthew 6:6 KJV). Find time to get into God's sweet presence. You will not regret it. He watches over you continually. God bless you.
