Quiet Times…

“Quiet times with God, the more peaceful I am…Quiet times with him help me focus on what I have rather than what I don’t.” Joyce Meyers~Quiet Time With God

Something magical happens when we begin to spend quiet time with God! We start looking for the gratification of our spirit rather than our flesh.

We become content with what we have and where we are rather than constantly seeking newer, shinier, faster, and bigger…always bigger!

Colossians 3:2 ESV “Set your mind on things that are above, not on things that are on earth.”

Isaiah 25:3 ESV “You keep him in perfect peace who’s mind is stayed on you, because he trusts in you.”

1 Chronicles 16:11 “Seek the Lord and his strength; seek his presence continually.”

Matthew 6:33 ESV “But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.”

Romans 8:28 ESV “And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose.”

I am not suggesting that finding peace and rest in our daily lives through prayer and a relationship with God will diminish our desires, but it certainly changes our perspectives.

The Lord fills so many empty places within us that we don’t need to keep plugging them with baubles, trinkets, and toys!

So…

Buy the shoes for fun or to fill the need for an outfit, not your need for love, acceptance, peace, and joy. Nor trying to fill the spot in your heart that God created within you meant for Him to fill.

Dear Lord, you know we love everything sparkly and shiny, big and fast. You see the plethora of advertising and marketing for anything the heart could want or desire! You gave us the wishes for the beautiful and fun but help us, Lord, to keep them in their places. Please help us each day to seek you first, your desires, and let the rest fall into place. I thank you for peace, joy, and laughter. The rest is just icing on the cake , and I thank you for that icing. In your glorious name Lord Jesus, I pray. Amen

I hope you have a blessed day and thank you for spending a few moments in Sunshine. ☀️❤️☺️
