Today's message...
Well today I read a very nice devotional on line. It talked about how when we read and learn God's word we often become focussed on other issues that are bothering us in life. We have a hard time devoting all of our heart to God. Well in today's devotional I learned that we need to ask God to quiet our hearts. I thought that this thought was so intriguing. What does it mean to quiet our hearts? Everybody goes through their daily routine with things to think about. There is always something weighing on people's minds. And that's okay. Because that's life and it's normal. I don't think that there's a minute in the day when I'm not thinking about something. I'm always wondering what I have to do next, what I' have done, what I haven't done. I always dwell on past events, regret mistakes, wonder why I'm not better. When will I fall in love again? Will I ever make it as a country music singer? Does Tim even miss me? I have to go to work tomorrow. I still can't get that piano part. Why is it so difficult to hit that note. What am I going to wear tomorrow. I mean...there is always a constant flow of thoughts.
My point...it just absolutely fascinates me to read that God can quiet our hearts. At first I thought about it. I was thinking, well isn't prayer a time for thoughts and reflection. But then I realized that its a time where God knows your heart. And all you need to do is quiet your heart, open up and let him in. Interesting.
