"Be still before the Lord, all mankind, because he has roused himself from his holy dwelling." Zechariah 2:13

Revisiting the original Star Wars trilogy with my boys is always a treat for me, a long-time fan since childhood.  One of the most important scenes in the original trilogy happens during Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back, when Luke Skywalker is receiving Jedi training from Yoda in the Dagobah System.  Not to digress too far here, but the road to becoming a Jedi was not as glamorous as it may have seemed to the young apprentice.  In fact, much of Luke's training required his complete concentration as well as being still and listening for instruction from Yoda, the oldest and wisest of all the Jedi.

Our daily walk with God is very similar to the long and rigorous training required to become a Jedi.  We all have an impatient nature, wanting God to be active in our lives every single day.  Please don't misunderstand me-God is ALWAYS present and active in our lives.  Sometimes, He simply requires us to be still, patient, and wait for him to answer our prayers.

It's in the quietness and silence that we often experience God's presence in our lives the most.  God assures us that in our weakness, his strength and power are shown the most.

Allow yourself some quiet time with the Lord each and every day!

Enjoy The Silence

When you pray, go away by yourself, shut the door behind you, and pray to your Father in private.  Then your Father, who sees everything, will reward you.  Matthew 6:6

Moments of peace and quiet are a rarity for me these days, especially with two young children.  If it's not loud toys, video games, singing or playing, there is almost always some kind of noise inside the walls of our home.  Finding quiet moments to pray certainly requires a commitment of waking up extra early each and every morning.

Jesus often retreated to pray in solitude after speaking to large crowds, teaching His disciples, or performing miracles.  He knew the value of spending those quiet moments in conversation with His Father.

Regardless of how hectic and busy our lives are, we must always save some time to be still and quiet so that we may hear God's voice.  Even if it's a few quick seconds a day in the car or even in the bathroom, find the time to enjoy His presence every day...He promises to hear you and will reward you!
