Be Still
Be Still
Be still, and know that I am God
Psalm 46:10 KJV
In the first chapter of Mark, we read that in the darkness of the early morning hours, Jesus went to a solitary place and prayed. So, too, should we. But sometimes, finding quiet moments of solitude is difficult indeed. We live in a noisy world, a world filled with distractions, frustrations, and complications. But if we allow the distractions of a clamorous world to separate us from God’s peace, we do ourselves a profound disservice.
If we seek to maintain righteous minds and compassionate hearts, we must take time each day for prayer and for meditation. We must make ourselves still in the presence of our Creator. We must quiet our minds and our hearts so that we can sense God’s will, God’s love, and God’s Son. Are you one of those busy women who rush through the day with scarcely a single moment for quiet contemplation and prayer? If so, it’s time to reorder your priorities.
Meditation Scriptures:

For thus saith the Lord God, the Holy one of Israel; in returning and rest shall be your saved; in quietness and in confidence shall be your strength: and ye would not. Isaiah 30:15 KJV
My soul, wait thou only upon God; for my expectation is from him. Psalm 62:5 KJV
Wherefore is there a price in the hand of a fool to get wisdom, seeing he hath no heart to it? Proverbs 17:16 KJV

Lord, Your Holy Word is a light unto the world; let me study it, trust it, and share it with all who cross my path. Let me discover You, Father, in the quiet moments of the day. And, in all that I say and do, help me to be worthy witness and I share the Good News of Your perfect Son and Your perfect Word. Amen.
Be Blessed!
