A Couple Of Minutes A Day

Do you have moments in your life when you feel like everyone is demanding a piece of you, looking for you everywhere, armed with all their urgent requests and deadlines?

The Gospels mention some similar moments for Jesus—times when He realized it was time for Him to get away to be by Himself.

But this idea of stopping what we’re doing and getting alone with the Father? For most of us it’s not part of our DNA. It is certainly not embraced by society. They would most likely label us as recluses or as displaying antisocial behavior. Instead of pulling away, taking some time, getting some rest—society says to charge on, full speed ahead.

Find some moments of your day—perhaps in the morning—to spend time alone with God.

God wants there to be times when you simply escape with Him, alone, and recharge. Like you are doing right now, reading this. He wants to be with you and help you to slow down for a few moments and seek Him. It will give the two of you the chance you need to hang out together.

His Promises

Let all that I am wait quietly before God,

for my hope is in him.

It is good to wait quietly

for salvation from the LORD.

Only in returning to me

and resting in me will you be saved.

In quietness and confidence is your strength.
