In the Closet...On the Rooftop

I was listening to a devotion this morning on the way in to work by Beth Moore and the summation of her 10 minute talk rang very true to me. As believers we are always either 'in the closet...or on the rooftop'! In the closet with our hands lifted to the ONE who can speak genuinely to our heart and soul and fill us with everything we need to exit the closet. From there we emerge onto the rooftop where we are hopefully shouting out to a lost world what God gave us while in the closet. It is pretty much impossible to fully comprehend all that God wants us to 'chew' on without some time in the closet. If we are not willing to go there, usually He will 'send' us there. Something comes along that shakes us and we NEED Him. We have to crawl sometimes to that dark place to sit at His feet and drink in the very breath that He longs to give us daily. And after we sit a spell with Him allowing our heart to be drenched with His goodness and mercy...we storm out onto the rooftop to remind the world of the freedom that He gives. The air that we breathe. In the closet...on the rooftop...where are you today?
