Sunday, October 23rd - Psalm 131

Good Afternoon!

Have you had a good day so far?  Mine has been great!  First service at Eastview was great and this weather is wonderful!  What a beautiful day!

Lisa's Tweet: LMRMinistries: Psalm 131: A weaned child has been told "no" by its mom so it will develop fully.  Ever feel like God has answered your prayers with a "no"?

There are lots of times that it is really hard to say "no" to our children and yet we know that it is in their best interest!  God always has our best interest in mind and sometimes has to say "no".  We want our children to be fully developed young men and women as they grow and God wants the very same for us!  He wants us to be fully developed and know His Word as we become servants in His Kingdom.  We serve an awesome God, who loves us unconditionally and enough to discipline and say "no" at times!

I like verse 2 where the psalmist says he has quieted and stilled his soul before the Lord.  When was the last time you did that?  When was the last time that you just sat in HIS presence and listened and poured your heart out before Him?  
I treasure those times when it is just God and me - a spiritual retreat!  Let me investigate and seek His face - what do I need to change or move to receive a "yes"  to my prayer? 

Take time today to still and quiet your soul before God Almighty!  Listen!  Do you hear His voice?  Read and meditate on His Word!  "Be still and know that I am God!"  Psalm 46:10
