When considering valuable items, many come to mind such as gold, cash, our family and special life events.
One area which cannot be replaced or added to often gets overlooked.
It is time.
As days like weekends, months and even years rapidly disappear into the past with each day taken for granted particularly in today’s pressurised society, our thoughts can constantly combine immediate needs with future obligations and requirements.
If caught up in this whirlwind, we may seek to cope by reaction rather than preparation, and instead of enjoying each day or experience we just grind on.
As always God has provided THE answer in Psalm 46 v10a.
He (God) says, “Be still, and know that I am God;
It’s a timely reminder to prayerfully stop and take stock of what we have become, where we are, and just what we are doing both personally and professionally in relation to our Lord.
Bad habits can be formed all too quickly, and spiritual and personal relationships can become weaker without realisation and beneficial opportunities missed.
Being still and knowing that He is God can reintroduce our correct perspective of calmness and peace along with reassurance and hope to prepare us for what lies ahead
With all blessings
