Be Still - Allow Time

You have given him blessings that will last forever.
    You have given him the joy of being near you. Psalm 21:6

All God wants is to be near you. He wants to have your time, your attention, your energy. He longs to hold your heart in His hands and be able to spend time with you.

Life is so busy and it can get in the way of any relationship. It seems that more than all the other relationships time gets in the way of our relationship with God the most. When is the last time you really spent time with God? I'm guilty of this too. I feel that my devotional time is spent reading, praying, thinking and contemplating - never listening. God tells us to "be still". This is something I need to practice. I need to learn how to sit comfortably in the silence with just God.

Don't let the busyness of life distract you from the precious time of spending time with God. Allow yourself to let go of everything and listen - be still.

If anyone believes in me, rivers of living water will flow out from their heart. That is what the Scriptures say. John 7:38

His love for his followers is
    as high above us as heaven is above the earth. Psalm 103:11
