Sunday Stillness - Quiet Moments - Growing Through God's Word
Sunday Stillness – Quiet Moments
A number of years ago (2006) I published my first devotional. I called it Quiet Moments,
published by The Upper Room Devotional.
In the morning, O Lord, you hear my voice; in the morning I lay my requests before you and wait in expectation (Psalm 5:3 (NIV).
THE deer’s eyes stared into mine. She did not move except for a gentle twitch of her tail. We watched each other for a while. Then slowly and carefully she turned and walked away. I was captivated with her long, graceful legs and her gentle footsteps. Such beauty, in my own backyard!
I felt God’s presence then — the peace, the gentleness. That’s the way I feel when I talk to God in the quiet of the early morning. I wait, I listen; God comes. As I lay all my thoughts, ideas, worries, and desires before my Creator, God releases me from any anxiety I feel.
To read more follow Quiet Moments. I encourage you to follow the link and continue reading my thoughts. Comments can be left on the Upper Room website or back here.
Today is Sunday Stillness – take time to relax in God’s presence.
