A friend, who leads the Bible Study I am in on Fridays, emailed this excerpt to our group today:
Modern man has lost the perspective of eternity. To distract himself
from the raging jaws of death, he engages in ceaseless activity and
amusement. The practice of being still in My Presence is almost a lost
art, yet it is this very stillness that enables you to experience My
eternal Love. You need the certainty of My loving presence in order to
weather the storms of life. During times of severe testing, even the
best theology can fail you if it isn't accompanied by experiential
knowledge of Me. The ultimate protection against sinking during life's
storms is devoting time to develop your friendship with Me.
I still need to find out what book this came from, so I can properly record it, but regardless, it is so true! Time with God through prayer, Bible Reading, worship, and simply being quiet to hear Him is so important.
I am reminded to ask God to see life from His Eternal perspective and to spend time with Him...so simple and yet, often forgotten.
