A beautiful state park near my home called Valley Falls is a great place to just sit and enjoy God's beautiful creation. It's loud. It's windy. It's perfect. If you are wanting a place to just go hang out go to Fairmont WV and find this little spot. It's a beautiful drive through the mountains and around a lake just to get here, but it's worth it. The falls drown out all the other sounds. The cool mist off the falls is just what you need on a hot and sunny day. If you go through the week it's pretty desolate, but a crowd can gather on a weekend and still you can manage to find your own spot.
There is a great song by Dara Maclean on the CD One Worship #7 called Overflow. It is one of the best songs I have ever heard. I wanted to attach it here but it wasn't available yet on YouTube or iTunes. The lyrics include, "I can hear the walls crashing down, I can feel the water all around, It's Your heartbeat, You're for me...". The presence of God was so strong today I literally felt His presence in my car overflowing in and through me. The Holy Spirit desires to fill us to the overflow and remove all obstacles in His way that He might consume us.
The Falls consume everything in their way. Those falls are powerful enough to move everything in their way. As beautiful as the water is, it is also dangerous. Ride on them and you will definitely go places few have been. Ride against the falls and you will only go backwards. When the presence of God comes into our lives we need to go with it not against it. Many times I have fought the spirit to no avail. However when I have went with His ways and power things have been amazing.
Today go with the Holy Spirit. Allow His power and presence to take you where you have never gone before. It was so important to receive the Holy Spirit, Jesus had them go wait for Him in an upper room. Jesus is still waiting for many too accept Him and to receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. If you are waiting God wants you to receive. In His presence we are changed.
