"Stop and Listen"!!

If you don't have time to pray & read scripture, you're busier than GOD ever intended for you to be!

This was on "my wall" this morning and I shared the photo.   I also saved it!  You see people, the things I write about are things that GOD speaks to "me" about.   Usually I share right after I come from the "woodshed"!    

Scripture tells us in Psalms 4:4 "Stand in awe, and sin not: commune with your own heart upon your bed, and BE STILL. Selah."  Wikipedia defines "SELAH" as "something like "stop and listen".   As I meditate "day and night" on HIS word, I am convicted that I have become "TOO BUSY" for my own good.  GOD has demonstrated to me that HE doesn't need me to do anything!  

We think we need to do "stuff" for HIM when all we NEED to do is love HIM and obey HIM.  Our society has dictated, with no authority to do so, that we be "productive" and "successful".  Yet, they cannot define either?!   Ecclesiastes 12:13 says "Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man."  

I have a dear friend who says "We want to be more than GOD intended us to be"!  My prayer is that I will "BE STILL" and be more in tune with the Spirit of the Living GOD!
