Making Room for the Amazing - Luke 19 - [LIFE] - Brent Phillips - Encounter Houston

When last were you absolutely amazed by God and His word?

In Psalm 119 it says, “My gaze is fixed on Your commandments.”

Are you taking the time to sit and be still in His word? Do you ever find yourself rushing through your daily quiet time with God because you know it is something that you are suppose to do, instead just be still and know that He is God and allow His word to amaze you once again.

What are you doing to stop and just be still before the Lord?

“If I really want to experience God, I must underwhelm my schedule so God has room to overwhelm my heart.”

Luke 19:1-4 “Jesus entered Jericho and made his way through the town. There was a man there named Zacchaeus. He was the chief tax collector in the region, and he had become very rich. He tried to get a look at Jesus, but he was too short to see over the crowd. So he ran ahead and climbed a sycamore-fig tree beside the road, for Jesus was going to pass that way.”

Zacchaeus knew that there would be obstacles in his way that would prevent him from seeing Jesus. So, he decided to climb a sycamore tree and not let his excuses stop him from encountering Jesus.

We need to ask ourselves, “Are there any excuses that are hindering me from The Word and keeping me from going deeper with God?"

The Lord wants you to can hear Him above all the noise and see above the crowd, He want you to hear His voice so clearly and see His hand on your situation. Just like Zacchaeus it is going to require you to make the climb and leave your excuses behind.

Are you willing to climb up and out of the noise and out of the crowd to encounter God?
