COME TO THE QUIET

"Let your first act in your devotions be stilling yourself before God. In prayer or worship, everything depends upon God taking the chief place in your attention" Andrew Murray ~ The Deeper Christian Life

Tuning out the noise of the world when I was working was always one of my battles. You know that feeling of starting your quiet time and then a thousand thoughts and things you need to do flood your mind.  In the past, I would just give up and shorten the deal..... Now, I find that if I just pray and ask Him to still my heart and mind as I wait before Him, the quiet eventually comes and then the "still, small voice".  There is nothing sweeter than the peace that comes from communion with the Gentle Shepherd and the comfort that flows from His Voice! It speaks peace, changes perspective, and transforms us!  All great burdens and problems become small in the light of His presence!!

Come to the quiet today!

Psalm 73:25-26

25 Whom have I in heaven but you?

    And there is nothing on earth that I desire besides you.

26 My flesh and my heart may fail,

    but God is the strength[a] of my heart and my portion forever.
