Has the Lord ever surprised you with an unexpected encounter in the midst of your hectic day? It happened to me not long ago and like Jacob of old, I heard myself saying, “Surely the Lord is in this place, and I did not know it” (Genesis 28:16 NKJV). Like Moses standing barefoot before the burning bush or Elijah listening to that “still small voice,” I knew I was standing on holy ground. It only lasted a moment but, in that moment, I was renewed. My coffee had gown cold when I returned to my desk, but my heart was strangely warmed.

“The times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord.”

— Acts 3:19 (KJV)

Lord Jesus, thank You for infusing our days with Your holy presence. Amen.
