Quiet
Time
Let
everything that has breath praise the Lord! Praise the Lord! -Psalm 150:6
Make time
for it. Schedule it on your calendar if you must. Walk the beach alone. Find a
bench in the park. There are a number of things you can do to find quiet time. Why
is it so important? It is a time to recharge and it is mentally healthy to
clear your mind of all things unimportant. Busy schedules, commutes to work,
radio and television blaring gives little time to just sitting still for a
while in peaceful solitude. Embracing those quiet moments are a time of
reflection and self-evaluation. A bit of peace and tranquility can go a long
way in getting our attitudes in alignment with God. It is in
those times of quiet that we can talk to God and He can talk to us. Maybe a
scripture will come to mind or a solution will reveal itself for a problem that
has been consuming us. Often times, my quietness is just praising and being
grateful. My grandson loves to hear that he has done a good job. We all like to
hear that. And so it is with God too. Praise the Lord! For it is good to sing praises to our God; for it is pleasant, and a
song of praise is fitting. Psalm 147:1
