Two Words Together

Posture
(For my friends, who daily remind me that a bent knee before the King of Kings is the best posture of all )

A persistent widow
A courageous centurion
A world-wise prostitute
A king

These, and many like them, knew approaching the Maker of the world takes courage. And it takes humility. A friend reminded me today, by the manner of her living and her written words, that it’s never too late, too soon, too anything to address God; it’s never too late, too soon, too anything to be changed by Him.

She postures herself at the feet of the Savior; hands open, chin raised, eyes on Him. She waits for Him. And, sometimes, waits…and waits…and waits. He speaks to her and heals her and changes her.

A persistent widow
A courageous soldier
A world-weary prostitute
A king

We can sit, bow, stand in the presence of the LORD of Lords ~~ our posture stiff-necked and filled with justifiable offense.


We can sit, bow, stand, move in the presence of the LORD of Lords ~~ ready, open, receptive, teachable.

Better to approach with tenderness, belief, deference to His sovereignty.

To know Him like the prostitute and the king.
