Today I took the day to spend with God to get refocused and refreshed before the start of the new semester tomorrow. Most of the time I spent listening to an awesome series on spiritual warfare by Shane Holden (preacher at Damascus Road Church in Madison, WI). If one of my friends sends me the link to the site where he gets the podcasts from I will post it on here. I highly recommend it to everyone. Other then that I listened to worship songs and prayed. It was really amazing. I feel very much at peace...something I definitely haven't for the last couple days. The interesting thing about today was that I wasn't sure whether or not I should spend the whole day with God, or if there were other things that He would rather I do.... I didn't mention this idea to anyone. A few days ago a friend and I were praying and she mentioned, in her prayer, something about me setting aside a day for God, if I could. I was shocked, but, I got my answer...and I can't think of a better way I could have spent today.
Tomorrow I will be back to school and the norm...and back to the driving schedule... but, God is there in the midst of that as well...
For those of you, tired and weary...those who are sick of the busy schedule, you're having a hard time finding peace in the midst of the whirlwind of activity...I challenge you to set aside a day, or even half of a day... give it to God, to rest in His loving arms, and to soak up His peace. Pray about it, I'm sure He will help you to find the time...
But, even more than finding the occasional day to set aside for God, it's important to give Him every day. No matter what that day is filled with, our focus needs to be set on God... Give Him today, and tomorrow, to live for Him, to be with Him, to stand in His presence, to be filled with His peace, to follow His orders, and to obey His every command.
May you rest in the arms of your beloved Saviour today and always. Go in His peace.
