Thoughts on Today's Verse...

David's example as God's poet and psalmist King tells me that the promise of this verse is true (Psalm 37:7).
Jesus' example shows that this is true (Luke 5:16).
Faith helps me trust that this promise is true.
Reverent silences, as we pause amid the hectic rush of our busy lives, can daily remind us that this promise is as true today as it was centuries ago. So, let's make this promise a spiritual principle we bring into our daily lives. Let's be still, and know that God is God, not us!

My Prayer...

O Father in heaven, may your name be reverenced and held holy in my life and my world today. May your will be done, may your reign on earth come with power, might, and finality in my life, and please help me usher it into my world. I want it to come just as it is already real in heaven with you. As I yield my busyness and fretfulness to you, please create the yearning in my heart to be still in your presence and be nourished in the quiet silence of reverent stillness. In Jesus' name, and to be more like Jesus my Savior, I pray. Amen.
