Isaiah 40:31 But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; they shall walk, and not faint.
It is in the stillness that the Voice will be heard, the only voice in all the universe that speaks peace to the deepest part of us. --Elizabeth Elliot
We live in a noisy world. A world filled with many distractions. As Mark Lowry's CD title says, Life Gets Loud. Indeed it does.
There have been times, I must say, when not enough comedy in the world could plaster a smile on my face, much less expel a hearty laugh from my lungs.
This world is filled with complications and frustrations, but THANKFULLY, we have a hope for the world beyond this life. If we allow the distractions of a clamorous world to separate us from God and His peace, we do ourselves a profound disservice.
To maintain righteousness and compassionate hearts we must take time each day for prayer, making our self still in the presence of God our Creator.
Focus on quieting your mind, still that racing heart, so that you may sense God's presence working in your life. His peace passes all understanding. It is sanity personified.
His peace brings about a victorious mindset to the seemingly defeated. NOTHING is more important than the time you spend with God.
Some of the most important answers you will receive from God are those that have been received in silence. Inner peace is your spiritual birthright. He paid it all, it is offered freely. I ask for peace, it is given, and then it must be shared.
Truly my soul waiteth upon God: from Him cometh my salvation (Psalm 62:1) Trust in Him at all times, ye people, pour out your heart before Him: God is a refuge for us. Selah. (Psalm 62:8)
Sanity is the result of Prayer.
