Shhh!

So many people today find themselves caught up in the day-to-day busyness of life, driven to do more in less time. It seems people constantly strive to find ways to cram more into their already overcrowded schedules.

But at the same time, God is constantly trying to remind us that we can step away from the hectic pace of life and come to Him for rest. The bible says, “Be still, and know that I am God...” He invites us to be still before Him, to get quiet so we can hear His voice and set our hearts and minds at peace.

Every day you should take time to meditate on God’s promises. Every time you’re in traffic, put on some praise music. Make it a point to spend time with Him throughout the day, even just mutterings or “chat” with Him in your mind. That’s what’s going to keep you strong; that’s what’s going to keep you moving in the right direction.

Today, I want to encourage you to make it a point to be still before God. Quiet your mind of all the things on your agenda and just focus on Him. Even five little minutes, if you really commit to shutting out all of life’s distractions, you might be surprised to find how much of a difference it makes. Let your heavenly Father love you, let Him speak to your heart and let Him fill you with peace and strength each and every day.
