“RELAX IN GOD’S HEALING PRESENCE. As you spend time with GOD, your thoughts tend to jump ahead to today’s plans and problems. Bring your mind back to The LORD for refreshment and renewal. Let the Light of GOD’S Presence soak into you, as you focus your thoughts on HIM. Thus GOD equips you to face whatever the day brings. This sacrifice of time pleases The LORD and strengthens you. Do not skimp on your time together. Resist the clamor of tasks waiting to be done. You have chosen what is better, and it will not be taken away from you.”
Scripture
Look to the LORD and his strength; seek his face always. PSALM 105 : 4
She had a sister called Mary, who sat at the Lord’s feet listening to what he said. But Martha was distracted by all the preparations that had to be made. She came to him and asked, “Lord, don’t you care that my sister has left me to do the work by myself? Tell her to help me!” “Martha, Martha,” the Lord answered, “you are worried and upset about many things, but only one thing is needed. Mary has chosen what is better, and it will not be taken away from her.” LUKE 10 : 39 – 42
Personal Note
I know the struggle of spending time with The LORD can be. Due to the nature of my job I sometimes wake up to requests of tasks needing to be done on an urgent basis. My desire to take care of work quickly sometimes is a distraction to my daily time spent with The LORD in the morning. It is hard sometimes to say to myself “Task / Person X can wait while I spend time in prayer / Bible study” – Some days / tasks are easier to set aside than others
Prayer
Prayer: Lord, help me rest in Your healing presence. Teach me to set aside the rush of daily tasks and choose what is better—time with You. In Your presence, You reveal what truly matters and provide the strength, my daily bread, to accomplish it well. With You, I can do less and accomplish more. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
