It has always been a challenge to sit quietly in God's Presence. Our world seems too busy to do nothing but be still and trust Him! I read recently that spiritual growth is impossible without spending time in silence and solitude with our Lord. That certainly got my attention and helped me make that time more of a priority in my life!
We
are constantly reminded in our devotional readings of many of God's
Promises. However, we are also told that we must stay closely connected
to Him in order to know and receive those wonderful Promises.
In
a recent Bible study group, we were discussing the issue of solitude
and someone said that they thought that this wasn't really for today's
world; further, she thought that this wasn't realistic for many of us.
My thought is that it is ESPECIALLY for today's hectic life-style - to
discipline ourselves to MAKE time for that very precious time being
quietly alone in God's Presence.
How do you handle making time for silence solitude in order to be filled with God's Peace and Love?
