Time with God
Psalm 46:1 God is our protection and source of strength. He is always ready to help us in times of trouble.
We all know that we should pray more and read our Bibles more. How often have you been told that, and then felt guilty? It’s okay for that minister to say that, but he has no idea what I’ve got on my plate today.
Oh no, it’s already ten past. I’ll never make it on time; thirty minutes for that meeting, get out of there, pick up my daughter and take her to netball practice. Milk! Jacqui wants me to buy some milk on the way home … right, what time are we going out tonight? Better give her a call …
Does that sound familiar? We all seem to have so much to do. It’s unbelievable how many things crowd out our day, so day after day we end up rushing around doing all this stuff.
Have you ever had days like that, and at the end you ask yourself “What have I achieved?” Half the time, the answer is “not much”.
You can end up living your whole life like that. That’s why meditation and relaxation are such big things. But what if meditation did more than relax us? What if in that quiet time there was someone there? What if mediation was a spiritual conversation with God about stuff; about today, tomorrow, your joys, your sorrows?
Honestly, I think one of the most powerful and positive changes that any of us can ever make is to set aside a quiet time with God every day.
Psalm 46:1 God is our protection and source of strength. He is always ready to help us in times of trouble.
If that’s true, doesn’t it make sense to spend some time with Him talking about today, hearing about His priorities, getting our hearts ready to face whatever the day holds?
Be still. Know in your heart that God is God.
That’s His Word. Fresh … for you … today.

Thank you Berni for your words of encouragement and for pointing us to the source of life. This has been stressful times and sometimes hard to deal with the norm. Especially if circumstances within the family are already very challenging ! However, within these times of not being able to do the norm, it is a time to stop and be still (even if it’s late at night) and seek Him …. he is our peace, our refuge and comfort ,,,, He wants us to stop and seek Him ! (First seek the Kingdom).
Thanks again, Leah

Paul, during these difficult times, draw closer to Jesus. Spend time with Him, read the Word, pray over it … and let Him do a mighty work in you. We don’t know why He leads us through such tough times, but He does. And right in the middle of this, He wants to draw you close and fill you with His love. Your brother in Christ, Berni@CW
