But The Lord is in His holy Temple. Let all the earth be silent before Him.

Habakkuk 2:20 NLT Bible

We live in a very busy world where things are always happening. Our lives seem to be moving at a frantic pace, and this seems to carry over into our time with God. In our minds, we know that we need to make time with God a priority, but because we're busy, tired and even distracted by things around us, we end up rushing through our time with God. We may read a few scripture verses, hurriedly bring our needs to God and then we're off to another activity, without really meeting with God, spending quiet time in His Presence and allowing Him to speak to us. 

Silence and solitude are very important for us, as believers. When we condition ourselves to be still in God's presence, we are able to hear His Voice, to receive insight and clarity from His Word, as well as direction and guidance for our lives. It requires discipline to be still before God because our minds are usually working overtime, thinking about all the things we have to do. However, in our silence, we are acknowledging God's awesome power and recognizing Him for who He is....our Heavenly Father, our Lord and Saviour. There's peace, joy, strength, hope, mercy and grace in His Presence. We are restored, refreshed and rejuvenated as we surrender and relinquish control and allow God to have His way in our lives.

Thank you, Lord, for Your abiding Presence. Help me to be silent before You, to listen to Your Voice, to hear what You have to say to me. Lord, I covet Your Presence, and I leave all my cares and distractions aside and surrender everything to you. I love you, Jesus. Amen!

Be Blessed!
