Devotional
So, beloved, it was established yesterday that a great way to finding peace in God’s presence is “being still.” Yes, it’s true. However, being still is not just to be physically quiet in God’s presence, but we also need to “quiet our minds and hearts.” Though it can be challenging to achieve this feat in a world filled with noise and distraction, but it’s fulfilling. Hear what the Psalmist said in 131:2, he said,
Key Scripture
But I have calmed and quieted myself, I am like a weaned child with its mother; like a weaned child I am content.Psalm 131:2 (NIV)
Refreshing for the Day
So, this is how we go about it. We create a sacred place and dedicate it for prayer and reflection. This can be a quiet corner of our home, a peaceful garden, or even a comfortable chair. We take a few moments to consciously release our worries and fears to God. Imagine placing them in God’s loving hands and allow ourselves to breathe deeply and find stillness within. Stay Refreshed!
Note This
By designating a sacred space, you create a physical reminder of your commitment to seeking God’s presence and peace.
Responsibility
