In the world, there is noise, unrest, and commotion. Therefore, seek silence. Give God at least ten minutes every morning:
“Be still and KNOW that I am God.”
Psalm 46:10 (NKJV)
Every morning, we need to let God adjust us, strengthen us, speak to us, help us focus correctly for the day ahead. Therefore, we should take at least ten minutes alone with God in the morning. We give God “the first fruit” of our precious time. In silence, God will restart us, cleanse us, and give us the right vision for the new day. Martha, Mary, and Lazarus were some of Jesus' close friends (John 11:1). One day, Jesus visited their home in the town of Bethany. Mary “sat at Jesus' feet and listened to his word” (Luke 10:39). Her sister Martha was busy serving him by organizing everything in the home. But Jesus corrected Martha:
“You are worried and troubled about many things. But one thing is needed. Mary has chosen that good part, which will not be taken away from her.”
Luke 10:41–42
↑ PRIORITIZED TIME: Silence before the Lord's presence and worship of Him must come before busyness in work and service, children, family, and other things.
We must learn to prioritize silence before the Lord's presence over spiritual stress. We must not let busyness in work and service, children, family, and other things come before closeness to God and worship of Him! We must also learn to wait on God and not be driven by performance anxiety and frustration in service. Paul says: “I die daily.” (1 Corinthians 15:31). He let God restart him every day. He was open to new visions, new thoughts, and new methods for the time ahead. We must do the same. Saul lost his kingdom because he did not wait seven days for the prophet Samuel to come and anoint him as king (1 Samuel 13:12–13). It was an expensive lesson! And while we wait for His revelation, our focus must be on Jesus, not on people and problems:
“Fixing our eyes on Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith.”
Hebrews 12:2
As we wait, we are readjusted and strengthened by the Spirit of God for new visions and services for the Lord:
“But those who wait on the Lord shall renew their strength. They shall mount up with wings like eagles
