God Today Devotions
Be still, and know that I am God: I will be
exalted among the heathen; I will be exalted in the earth. Have you ever turned on your television or radio; not to watch or listen to it but just so that it will block out the silence. There are so many opportunities throughout our day for us to avoid being quiet and alone with our thoughts, and our God. How many times do we watch with awe, as the sunsets at the end of the day, or notice that the leaves are beginning to change color, and the flowers blossoming, or even take the time to enjoy the food that we eat? Most of these precious events pass us by, for the most part, un-noticed as we scurry off to our next appointment, or engagement. Every moment of our lives does not have to occupy a particular space. We can slow down, stop for more than a minute and enjoy all that surrounds us. God has created beautiful things in our lives, that we fail to see, because we fail to slow down. We expect quite the opposite of God. We go to Him in prayer and present our needs and essentially stipulate that He performs as we request and impatiently wait for our petitions to be fulfilled. God is not in a hurry and He certainly does not have to abide by our schedules. We are the one's that need to slow down, sit back and soak in all that He is and all that He is surrounds us daily. We are always looking for the grand events but too often miss the day to day events in our midst that are truly awesome. Prayer Help us to turn off the noise in our lives so that we can hear you and see you in every part of our day. You have surrounded us with yourself. Everywhere we look, everywhere we go, you are there. Help us to be still, break away from our routines and realize your glory in our midst today. Amen. To subscribe to the
