STOP ! Read: Psalm 131 I dont know about any of you my family and friends But my life is a busy enterprise. It seems there are always more things to do, places to go, and people to meet. And sure while none of us would want a life without meaningful things to do, the fast pace sometimes threatens to rob us all of the quietness that we need. When were driving there are stop signs and other signs warning us to slow down as reminders that in-order to be safe, we cant have our foot on the accelerator all the time. Like I stated in the beginning, I dont know about you- but I need those kind of reminders in all aspects of my life. The psalmist clearly knew the importance of times of calm and quite. God Himself Rested on the seventh day. And with more messages to preach and more people to heal, Jesus went apart from the crowds and rested a while (Matthew 14:13; Mark 6:31). He knew it wasnt wise to accelerate through life with our gas gauge registering on weary all the time. I got a question and I know its only Tuesday, however- When was the last time you could echo the psalmists words, I have calmed and quieted my soul?(Ps.131:2). Heres what I suggest- Put up a stop sign at the intersection of your busy lives. Find a place to be alone. Turn off the distractions that keep you from listening to Gods voice, and let Him speak to you as you read His Word. Let Him refresh your heart and mind with the strength to live life well for His glory. Life, can make me weary and stressed at times. I want to stop right now though, Lord, and take the time to quiet my soul before You. Speak to me from Your Word. Please refresh me as I continue to walk upon lifes path. AMEN. STOP AND TAKE A BREAK FROM THE BUSYNESS OF LIFE SO THAT YOU CAN REFUEL YOUR SOUL. Agape, Chaplain Mathew Holloway M/Div Urban Ministry
