Dear Young Christian,
There may be many duties and tasks that are pressing this week, and you are wondering how you are going to get it all accomplished. Just remember that, in between all the necessities of life, the Lord is inviting and entreating, “rest a while” (Mark 6:31). In today’s language we would say, “Stop and take a deep breath.” We need to pause during the crazy, busy fray of life’s activities and be sensitive to the Lord’s presence and nearness. Talk to Him, listen to Him speak to you, enjoy His love, feel the warmth of His presence. This will enable you to carry on with spiritual energy and purpose. It doesn’t mean everything will be perfect, but problem solving will be much easier, your day brighter, and life’s road smoother. There will be a joy and song in your heart and a smile on your face.
We are encouraged, “Be still” (Psalm 46:10). Most of us have heard or read this verse before, but do we really take it to heart? Try it this week, and I know you will find it a real blessing and help.
Your Christian Friend,
Jim Hyland
