Day 24

               Be still and know that I am God, the scriptures say. So often times Lord, I confess that these words I don’t apply to my life. I excuse my lack of commitment to You because good intentions, work, helping others, being productive. I desire to do Your will but fail in the simplest step, stopping whatever I am doing and being still before You. Even when I do still myself, my mind wanders to the list of things to do, the anticipation of things to come and other distractions that might rob me of knowing You deeper and fuller. Guard my mind and heart each day so that I might be purposeful in my stillness and knowing of You as God. You know what is best for me and this instruction by Your word is key to making sure my day is complete. Thank You for Your willingness to meet with me. Amen.
