Every time I soak I always find myself habituating deep in the presence of the Lord and just communing with Him beyond my expectation. And it’s during these moments that God delivers and takes away things that are not of Him and deposits in me the treasures of heaven. Soaking is an area that has been neglected in our Christian circles but it is one thing needful during these times that we are living in.

Like Martha we are so busy in serving the Lord but we have not chosen the one needful thing— the good part of sitting at the Master’s feet. Our lives are very hectic and afford no time to really rest. Soaking gives us the opportunity to rest, not just to relax the mind and rest, but to sit at the Master’s feet.

Soaking gives us time to refreshed, renewed by Him and time to behold His beauty. Like with Mary, soaking is bringing us back to one needful thing—to rest in him and find our satisfaction in Him alone. It brings us to a place where we know that there’s only one thing that satisfies—the Lord Jesus Christ Himself.

Nothing will and no one can satisfy our deepest cravings but Him. I have no doubt that once you get hold of Brenda’s book Carvings In His Palm, What God Thinks When He Whispers Your Name and  her soaking materials found on www.journalsoftheheart.com and www.soakingwithapurpose.com , your walk with the Lord will be deeper and solidified.
