Stop And Think

"God...richly furnishes us with everything to enjoy!"
1 Timothy 6:17

There are two ways of making it through our busy life. One way is to completely stop thinking. The second is to stop and think. Many people live their lives the first way. They fill every hour with unnecessary activity. They don't dare be alone. There is no time for quiet reflection in their lives.

The second way, to stop and think, is to contemplate what life is for and to what end we are living. The word Sabbath literally means, "stop doing what you are doing."

Throughout the day today, give yourself a five-or ten-minute "mini-vacation." Get alone, be quiet, and listen for God to speak to you. Make time to be alone with God.

I couldn't agree with you more. May everyone who reads this stop, listen, and hear His voice.
