When life is like this, chances are, the Spirit is too. My church attendance has been spotty. My time in my Word is minimal. I don't talk with God as much. I don't seek Him as diligently. I'm just kind of out here.
"Then, because so many people were coming and going that they did not even have a chance to eat, he said to them, “Come with me by yourselves to a quiet place and get some rest.” -Matthew 6:31
God didn't design us to constantly be busy. He designed us to work...for Him...but not to exhaust ourselves like many of us do. His plan for our lives is bigger than overpriced caffeine and extensive workouts, all in an effort to increase our energy as we race to fatigue. His plan requires us to sometimes be still. We have to ensure that we save room in our day to be available to Him. I don't know about you, but lately, this has become a bit of a struggle for ya girl!
Not sure how many of you can relate, but there comes a time in life where you just need to sit down somewhere. God has so much to show us and reveal about His vision and purpose for our lives. However, it gets tough to hear His voice when the background noise is so loud. It's hard to see His vision when the fog of work, family, and social time hasn't cleared. It's hard to live out His purpose when so many other things have completely drained our energy. If you know this place all too well, make an intentional effort to carve out dedicated time this week to simply bask in God. No formalities required. No time limit in place. Simply make an effort to commit some time to pray, journal, read, or just sit still in the solitude of His love. Be Blessed. XOXO
