Another Realm
Anyone who’s ever been swimming under water can understand how it’s another world there.
The sounds from above are muffled, if you sense any at all.
Depending upon whether you have any apparatus or just holding your breath your experience will differ.
For the snorkeler or scuba diver, the experience can become surreal.
You see things you never had the chance to before,
nor imagined were there.
The lack of common sounds takes some getting used to.
The sense of weight difference is also challenging.
If you’ve chosen a good place, the colors and shapes of underwater life is exquisite
and draws much of your attention.
You learn how to appreciate things in a new way.
Going before God in prayer can be a similar experience.
Blocking out the sounds of the world and listening to
the still small voice of God within us takes practice.
Our Spirit bears witness with His, and we can appreciate this phenomena.
The peaceful nature of knowing we are before the throne of God
and not only allowed to speak our peace, but encouraged to
gives this time a special setting and sense about it.
There is much to see and know from spending time
with God in prayer.
Both experiences take place in a realm not known to all people, though available.
Next time you approach the throne, take time to realize where you are,
and appreciate what surrounds you.
Peace.
