I think David's relationship with God helped him arrive at this point. He prayed to the Lord, "My lips shall praise You," as he fled the army of his disobedient son in the wilderness (Ps. 63:3). But he also mentioned thinking about God, reveling in the shadow of His wings, and remembering Him (vv. 6–8). He was content to simply reflect on and savor His presence.
The same intimacy develops when our relationship with God deepens—sometimes via conversation, sometimes through meditation, sometimes through feelings of awe and appreciation. And even when we are engrossed in earthly activities, we experience a quiet inner freedom to communicate with Him or not because we know that He is constantly present.
Freedom and joy come from a deep relationship with God.
What comfort and joy we can have when Jesus joins us for dinner!
He brings the totality of His love and heavenly communion.
