"And the world is passing away, and the lust of it; but he who does the will of God abides forever" -- 1 John 2:17 / NKJV
For most of us, life is busy and complicated. Amid the rush and crush of the daily grind, it is easy to lose perspective . . . easy, but wrong. When our world seems to be spinning out of control, we can regain perspective by slowing ourselves down and then turning our thoughts and prayers toward God.
Do you carve out quiet moments each day to offer thanksgiving and praise to your Creator? You should. During these moments of stillness, you will often sense the love and wisdom of our Lord.
The familiar words of Psalm 46:10 remind us to "Be still, and know that I am God (NKJV). When we do so, we encounter the awesome presence of our loving Heavenly Father, and we are blessed beyond words. But, when we ignore the presence of our Creator, we rob ourselves of His perspective, His peace and His joy.
Today and every day, make time to be still before God. When you do, you can face the day's complications with the wisdom and power that only He can provide.

Dear Lord, when the pace of our lives become frantic, slow us down and give us perspective. Give us the wisdom to realize that the problems of today are only temporary but that Your love is eternal. When we become discouraged, keep us steady and sure, so that we might do Your will. Amen
