We... in American society... with countless resources at our fingertips... and a heritage of can do culture... do not often see the spiritual practices God calls us to as doing... if it's not something we can physically do... something we can see... feel... and touch... then it's nothing...
This is not true... it is a lie...
Being still and knowing He is God is a long shot from nothing. Trusting in a God you cannot see is a long shot from nothing. Holding your tongue is a long shot from nothing. Being patient is a long shot from nothing. Counting it all joy is a long shot from nothing. Submitting is a long shot from nothing. Confessing sin is a long shot from nothing. Resting in Christ is a long shot from nothing. and hear this one really loudly: praying is a long shot from nothing.
---Beth Moore, James: Mercy Triumphs
We serve a God that is Spirit... Who calls us to live by faith... exercising the unseen... in order to overcome the seen...
It's what we trust in but don't yet see that keeps us going.
2Corinthians 5:7
Msg
The most important things... the things of God... are the things we need to tend to most... but sadly... busyness gets in the way... the deception that unless we do... all we have to do... in this world... in our world... we are doing nothing... wasting time...
Take time today... to be still... know that He is God... pray... seek... wait... before you do... one more thing...
