“God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble.”  Psalm 46:1

Thoughts

Where can we go when all the walls fall and all the armies crumble and all hope is lost? To the eternal God, who is our Father. He preserved Israel through the most difficult of times, protected the Bible from those who would eradicate it, and has led his Church through troubles and triumphs through the centuries. He will do the same with us until he brings us home to himself.

Prayer:

My Rock, My Hope, and My Protector, I thank you for preserving my life. I thank you for hearing my cries for help and healing. I thank you for guiding my feet into ways that have been a blessing. Please, O God, stay close by as I face the stresses and challenges in my life. Through your Spirit, enable me to grow and be an example to others as I pass through life’s storm. Through Jesus I ask it. Amen.

Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth!” Psalm 46:10

Technology may be one of the biggest enemies to our prayer lives.

That’s right!  Professor David Levy of University of Washington’s School of Information warns us.  Today’s flood of technology is destroying our ability to engage in any kind of contemplation – we used to call that “quiet time.”

The Bible says to “Be still and know that I am God.” But ˜being still” is difficult when the cell phone rings, or text messages are incoming or emails land on your desktop. The temptation is to respond immediately.

Friend, interruptions in your spiritual conversation with God are dangerous. Look for a quiet place for prayer and then turn off all distractions. Prepare to hear what God has to say to you in His Word.

Start by “being still.”  Then you will get to know God.
