Time

Psalm 37:7 "Be still before the LORD and wait patiently for him..."


In our society, it is usual -- almost expected -- to be busy. All the time. Last year, I learned about the importance of stillness and the benefits that stillness brings. The benefits of actually having "time."  


Time to be close to God.
Time to spend in His word.
Time to pray.
Time to minister to others.
Time to spend with someone who needs an encouraging word.
Time to let God work out His plan for me.
Time to be still and hear His voice.
Time to discern His counsel.
Time to spend with the incredible gift He gave me... my family.


Dear Heavenly Father, thank You for Your gift of time. I pray that You help me to wisely use the time You have given me. Please show me a balance -- of busyness and of stillness -- so that I will always have time for what You are calling me to do and to discern what is important to You. Amen.
