As a Church Body, we know how to “do” well. Most musicians, worship leaders and pastors know the posture and position of taking action. We know how to get in God’s Presence and engage with Him through action. Often, maybe, more than we need to… But what if there is a way to engage God’s Presence by inaction? What if we came before in corporate and private settings with the heart posture of doing nothing to start? Doing nothing but only waiting in silence and inaction, waiting for God to act and come upon us? Waiting for His brooding Glory and Presence to rest on us and take us up into Him, His Heart, His Agenda, His Will?

Andrew Murray said in his book Waiting on God, “Waiting before God, waiting for God—these are the preconditions of God for revealing His Presence. If only a company of believers would gather together for the sole purpose of helping each other to wait on God alone, by intervals of silence opening the heart of whatever God may reveal — whether that be a disclosure of sin, of His will, of new areas for ministry, or of new ways of doing things. Those gathered would soon have reason to exclaim, “BEHOLD, THIS IS OUR GOD; we have waited for Him, He shall save us: THIS IS THE LORD; we have waited for Him, we will be glad and rejoice in His salvation.”
