Getting Quiet
Author: Bob Shafer
Today’s Scripture
"Be still, and know that I am God" (Psalm 46:10, NKJV).
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 inviting us to step away from the hectic pace of life and come to Him to find rest for our souls. 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 read the Scripture and meditate on God’s promises. Every time you’re in the car, put on some good praise music. Make it a point to spend time with God throughout the day. When you get quiet, say, “God, I love You today. Lord, thank You for my life, my family, my dreams.” That’s what is going to keep you strong. That’s what’s going to keep you moving forward in the right direction.
Today, make it a point to be still before God. Quiet your mind of all the things on your agenda and just focus on Him. Let Him love you, let Him speak to your heart, and let Him fill you with peace and strength each and every day.
A Prayer for Today
Father, thank You for Your love and grace that are upon me. Right now, I let go of all the distractions of life and focus on You. I choose to be still, to get quiet before You, and listen to You. Restore me and help me to hear Your voice with clarity. I receive Your peace and strength for today in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
Wake-Up Thought
The Scripture says that in God’s presence there is fullness of joy, fullness of peace, fullness of victory. That’s where you’re refreshed and restored. Take time at the beginning of each day to sit quietly in His presence, pray, and read your Bible. When you get alone with God and put Him first, the rest of your day will go much better. You will reap rich rewards and live the abundant life He has for you.
