“SIT QUIETLY IN GOD’S PRESENCE while GOD blesses you. Make your mind like a still pool of water, ready to receive whatever thoughts GOD drops into it. Rest in GOD’S sufficiency, as you consider the challenges this day presents. Do not wear yourself out by worrying about whether you can cope with the pressures. Keep looking to GOD and communicating with HIM, as you walk through this day together. Take time to rest by the wayside, for GOD is not in a hurry. A leisurely pace accomplishes more than hurried striving. When you rush, you forget who you are and Whose you are. Remember that you are royalty in GOD’S kingdom.” para-phrased – “Jesus Calling” by Sarah Young
Be still before the LORD and wait patiently for him; do not fret when men succeed in their ways, when they carry out their wicked schemes. PSALM 37 : 7
The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are God’s children. Now if we are children, then we are heirs—heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ, if indeed we share in his sufferings in order that we may also share in his glory. ROMANS 8 : 16 – 17
But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people belonging to God, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light. 1 PETER 2 : 9
Prayer: Lord help me to make time to sit in your presence and let you bless me because of time with you. Help me to slow down my pace to a leisurely pace today. Paying attention to all the blessings and opportunities to be a light you place along my path. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
