Take Time

Do you ever take the time to sit outside and enjoy nature? I'm talking about leaving everything aside but you and your Bible or a good book, and just go outside and be quiet? Do some reflecting, some worshipping, some praying, some dreaming, some observing....am I on another planet here? Because I'm sensing that none of you do--not on a regular basis anyway. Well I'm asking you to do that for yourself--daily. You have no idea how it revitalizes you, clears all the fogginess and cloudiness out of your head, and refreshens the soul. You never know how God might speak to you in that moment about Himself, about you, or about His creation. As one of my friends puts it: find a sanctuary where you get away and alone. For me, it's definitely outside. Whether you go on a walk, or just sit still--it really doesn't matter, just make the time for this. It will make all the difference in your day because your attitude about life is so much better. I think Americans get all too busy with things and stuff and schedules....life. Where's your down time? Where's your refocusing time? Believe me, you won't find a scheduled slot for it...you'll have to make some room for. No wonder people run around half crazy, so confused and unsatisfied with their lives. Their not taking any time to hear from God! No time to be still and know that He IS God. I challenge you to take your life back and make the time to find your sanctuary.
