Thoughts on Today's Verse...

If you listen to these words carefully, heaven says, "Have a holy chill-out moment." I'm not making light of this invitation. Heaven says, "Come into God's presence with dependent yet confident patience and silence." But how can we when our world is frantic, noise is everywhere, and evil seems to abound?
We know God will do what is right for us over the passage of time and eternal time. The Bible is God's story. More than history, it is HIS-story. It is our great reminder that God is always faithful to his promises, gracious in his power to redeem, and generous with his love shared with his children. So come into God's presence and be willing to be still, patient, trusting, and hopeful! God is on his throne. We can have a holy chill-out rest in his grace as we trust in his faithfulness.

My Prayer...

Father, in the quietness of this moment, I consciously relax into your presence as I place the concerns and cares of my heart before you. I trust, dear Father, that you will act redemptively in my life. You will give me peace and I can confidently put my soul, future, and hope in your hands. In Jesus' name, I rest myself in you. Amen.
