DAILY READINGS: 1 Samuel 8 to 9:14; Isaiah 49; 2 Cor. 10

Rest in the Lord, and wait patiently for him... Psalm:37:7

We live in a society where the wheels of time seem to turn ever faster. Keeping up on this living treadmill can be a source of stress, frustration and even illness. An article on the subject states, “There is no merit in being busy just for the sake of being busy.” Yet many are. We do not readily hear the Holy Spirit’s voice when we are in a frenzy, running here and there. Diligence is required in our daily tasks, but maybe we need to think before acting and then take meaningful steps to move only in the Spirit’s will. If we guard the main purpose of our lives—to serve and draw near to Him, we will be guided as to how much activity we should be involved in. —E. Dyck

Be still, my soul: the Lord is on thy side; Leave to thy God to order and provide.   —Katharina von Schlegel
