As a new day begins and there is a calmness outside! The trees seem to be still and there is a sense of quietness in the air… Just for a brief moment the world seems to be still. Sometimes it may seem difficult to quiet ourselves before the Lord… We have schedules that are full and lives that are busy.
But if possible, stepping back for a moment, and turning our hearts toward God, brings peace to the burdened heart... These are the words the Lord gave to His people: “For thus says the Lord God, the Holy One of Israel: “In returning and rest you shall be saved; In quietness and confidence shall be your strength.” But you would not,”
Isaiah 30:15 NKJV

God, gives the invitation to return to Him, in the midst of our busy lives, and a time when there is so much anxiety, there does not seem to be a lot of quietness of peace… God is the one that brings peace... He is the one that can calm all our fears! He is the one who can give us the confidence we need, when fear says, you will never be able to overcome… God is the one that gives us strength… The word quietness in Hebrew means, repose, calm, relaxed, free from all anxiety! Wow, that sounds amazing! The Lord is the one Who calms all our fears… so as we look for strength or look for peace and try to find answers for our troubled heart, perhaps it’s time to adhere to the words of the Lord Himself and return to Him, as He opens the door to peace in our lives… “God is our refuge and strength, A very present help in trouble. Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth!”
Psalms 46:1, 10 NKJV

God loves you very much…may God help us to find a quiet time and open our hearts to His word and may His peace calm each troubled heart.
