August
SIT QUIETLY IN MY PRESENCE while I bless you. Make your mind
like a still pool of water, ready to receive whatever thoughts I drop into
it. Rest in My sufficiency, as you consider the challenges this day
presents. Do not wear yourself out by worrying about whether you can
cope with the pressures. Keep looking to Me and communicating with
Me, as we walk through this day together.
Take time to rest by the wayside, for I am not in a hurry. A leisurely
pace accomplishes more than hurried striving. When you rush, you
forget who you are and Whose you are. Remember that you are royalty
in My kingdom.
Be still before the LORD and wait patiently for him; do not fret when men succeed
in their ways, when they carry out their wicked schemes.
PSALM 37 : 7
The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are God’s children. Now if we
are children, then we are heirs—heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ, if indeed
we share in his sufferings in order that we may also share in his glory.
ROMANS 8 : 16 – 17
But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people
belonging to God, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of
darkness into his wonderful light.
1 PETER 2 : 9
