Isaiah 57:14-15 — Sometimes we will spontaneously express our heart to God with our body, falling to our knees or clapping, dancing or raising our hands in worship. At other times, in humility, we deliberately choose to physically position ourselves in order to prepare our minds and hearts before the Lord. This is what I believe God is asking us to do, to choose to humble ourselves, not to just wait until we feel like it but in obedience to prepare our hearts and minds by bowing low. A contrite and humble spirit attracts the very presence of God. Isaiah 57:15 says that God not only inhabits eternity but dwells with the contrite and humble or lowly in spirit and revive them.
