One of my favorite parts of Sunday service is the end of service, post-benediction and when people start to slowly gather their things and rise out of their seats. The worship team will usually draw out the last song and I find that I don't want to move on from that moment. Time pauses and it's this lingering moment that I feel the least burdened and the most carefree. Indeed, my inclination is to stay, because I am aware and in awe of the Lord's presence and his love.
Lord, help me to linger more often in your presence. Help me to be continually in awe of who you are. Set my gaze on you; show me more of who you are.
