Access!

Divine Inspirations | By Dee Davis

Scripture Focus:

Psalm 62:1–2, 5–8 (NLT)

“I wait quietly before God,

for my victory comes from him.

He alone is my rock and my salvation,

my fortress where I will never be shaken…

Let all that I am wait quietly before God,

for my hope is in him.

He alone is my rock and my salvation,

my fortress where I will not be shaken.

My victory and honor come from God alone.

He is my refuge, a rock where no enemy can reach me.

O my people, trust in him at all times.

Pour out your heart to him,

for God is our refuge.”

Devotional Message:

At some point in every believer’s life, the truth becomes undeniable:

We cannot live without God.

Not successfully.

Not peacefully.

Not purposefully.

Not whole.

The more we walk with Him, the more we understand that His presence is our lifeline, and communicating with Him daily keeps our lives aligned with His plans. It’s not optional, it’s essential. It is in those quiet moments of surrender, worship, and honest conversation that we build what Scripture often describes as a personal altar.

Your Personal Altar

An altar is not a physical structure; it’s the place where your heart meets God.

It is the sacred space where you quiet down, lean in, and pour out.

And what happens when we choose to build that altar daily?

We gain access.

Access to His presence.

Access to His wisdom.

Access to His communication and direction.

Access to His blessing.

Access to His covering and protection in every season of our journey.

Access in New Territory

Whenever God leads you into unfamiliar places, new assignments, new responsibilities, new chapters, or new healing, our first response should be to build an altar to the Lord. This is how the patriarchs moved throughout Scripture. Before they pursued anything significant, they established a place of worship, surrender, and connection.

And we must do the same.

Our altar is built through prayer, submission, and consistent devotion. Not through perfection... but by presence. Not by performance... by posture. That willingness to meet Him draws Him nearer to us. That openness to His voice aligns our steps. That sacrifice of time and attention places our life under His divine covering.

What God Gives You Through Access

When you honor God in our daily meeting space, He responds by granting what only He can:

              • Peace beyond understanding

              • Strength for the assignment

              • Clarity for decisions

              • Protection from what you cannot see

              • Hope that anchors your soul

              • A refuge no enemy can reach

This is why the psalmist could boldly declare, “He alone is my rock…my fortress…I will never be shaken.”

Daily access produces daily stability.

Reflection Question

              1. What does your “personal altar” look like in this current season?

Action Step

Set aside one intentional moment today, even just five minutes, to meet with God.

Quiet your soul, breathe deeply, and invite Him into every part of your journey.

Ask Him to speak to your heart or name the new territory you are stepping into and place it on the altar before Him.

Prayer

Father, I thank You for the privilege of access. Thank You that through Jesus Christ, I can come boldly to Your presence, receive Your wisdom, and rest beneath Your covering. Help me build and honor my personal altar daily. Draw me closer to you, align my heart, and prepare me for what you have set before me. Be my rock, my refuge, my hope, and my salvation. I trust You with today and every tomorrow. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Stay encouraged and be blessed.
