What would it look like if we understood the magnitude of Your presence? What would it look like if, when we asked for you to be with us, we actually believed in the vast, immeasurable power that would dwell in our presence? Do we give way to grave injustice when our mindseye imagines only the lovely, tender side of You or the rescue-provider appearing in our time of need? What if we called on your name and trembled in Holy fear, fully understanding that we have just summoned power beyond human imagination? Power that is beyond containment. Power that can create and destroy with a word, much less a hand, that would demand a life in exchange for just once glance of it in it’s fullness. What if we recognized this power all around us? Is creation not a manifestation of this power harnessed into a spoken Word? Is man not proof of this power let loose in a Holy Breath? Is not the resurrection all power amassed, conquering death? Why do we choose to weakly ask for Your presence and expect an only slightly stronger delivery of it? Help us know this in the deepest recesses of our heart. Help us know that when we call on Your name, there IS NO higher power. No one greater, stronger, wiser, larger, more capable, encompassing, awe inspiring, more HOLY than You. A room cannot contain You. A situation cannot contain You, a temple or sanctuary cannot contain Your majestic, overwhelming Presence and Power. Help us ask with full expectation. Help us feel it in our spirits. Hold us while we wait.

....(14)these are just the beginning of all that he does, merely a whisper of His power. Who, then, can comprehend the thunder of His power?" Job 26:1-14
