Good Morning!! We can be seeking God,...or we can be surprised by God. Often we pursue a quiet time to draw nearer to God,...but, it's much more likely that God will break into our inattentive busyness, with a moment that causes us to realize His presence.
The LORD is good to those whose hope is in him, to the one who seeks him; it is good to wait quietly for the salvation of the LORD.—Lamentations 3:25, 26 (NIV)
I believe that learning to wait quietly, is at the heart of our growing faith. Throughout the Bible, the words of this passage from Lamentations are illustrated by the struggling faithful: Noah, Hannah, Elijah, Daniel, Peter, Paul, Mary, and so many others. They challenge us to "wait quietly" in our relationship with God.
God's presence quietly brings sustenance to our soul,
...and that's always worth waiting for!
Dear God, thank you for your invitation to meet quietly with You in this must-do-more-faster world. And thank You for breaking in, went we can't seem to find the time on our own. Amen.
"Our trusting in God's care, should never be based on our understanding of His plan."
