A Season of Stillness

Let all that I am wait quietly before God, for my hope is in him.—Psalm 62:5 (NLT)
Autumn, in all of its glory, is the perfect time to sit outside in nature, or by a window, and engage in the spiritual practice of being still. Use this time to embrace the calm and quiet peace of His presence. Immerse yourself in His Word.
Lord, quiet time with You is balm for my soul.

Embrace God’s Promise

Arguing with God

“How then can I dispute with him? How can I find words to argue with him?”—Job 9:14 (NIV)

Have you ever tried to argue with God only to realize the error of your thinking? God is never wrong. Yet, by openly disagreeing with Him, you often open a dialogue that will help you better understand His ways. Approach Him with honest prayer. Your most important action is to turn to Him.

Heavenly Father, I may not be happy with what is happening, but who am I to argue with You?

Prune Your Priorities

He cuts off every branch in me that bears no fruit, while every branch that does bear fruit he prunes so that it will be even more fruitful.—John 15:2 (NIV)

Do you feel tired and overwhelmed by all you want to do in a day? Ask God to help you prioritize your goals. Focus on the peace of His presence. Turn to Him for guidance on what is important right now and what can wait for another day.

Dear Lord, there is so much I want to do. Help me focus first on You so that all my efforts bear fruit.

Clear Your Conscience

How much more will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without blemish to God, purify our conscience from dead works to serve the living God.—Hebrews 9:14 (ESV)

Is your conscience troubling you over a deed, thought or action that causes you shame? Pray and open up to God. Instead of burying your wrongdoing, confess it and be free. Thank Him for His forgiveness and unending mercy.

Holy Lord, purify my conscience. Help me release my guilt over my transgressions.

God’s Spiritual House

You yourselves like living stones are being built up as a spiritual house, to be a holy priesthood, to offer spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.—1 Peter 2:5 (ESV)

Dear Lord, I am honored to be part of Your wondrous structure and I praise You for Your glorious work.
