Rest in the Lord!

Today's devotional and scriptures are such good reminders about how we so often get caught up in the worries and stresses of the world! What a blessing to KNOW without a doubt that we can "rest in the Lord" and be totally at Peace with Him! However, there is more to this than our saying, "OK Lord, I need some of your rest and peace!" Today's reading tells us that we need to start each day spending time with God. This is a spiritual discipline that I am working on, and I can tell you that it DOES make a difference in my days. My spiritual director told me that she simply cannot move through the day without starting the day in silence and solitude with Him.

The scripture from Proverbs 3:6 is one of my favorites that I have memorized and that I have needed and used in countless situations. However, I also use verse 5 which is "Trust in the Lord with all of your heart and lean not to your own understanding."

I pray that you will join me in developing this spiritual discipline of starting each and everyday by spending time communing (speaking and listening) with Our Lord.
