Take time to be still in My Presence. The more hassle you feel, the more you need this sacred space of communion with Me. Breathe slowly and deeply. Relax in My holy Presence while My Face shines upon you. This is how you receive My Peace, which I always proffer to you.
Imagine the pain I feel when My children tie themselves up in anxious knots, ignoring My gift of Peace. I died a criminal’s death to secure this blessing for you. Receive it gratefully; hide it in your heart. My Peace is an inner treasure, growing within you as you trust in Me. Therefore, circumstances cannot touch it. Be still, enjoying Peace in My Presence.
Psalm 46:10 “Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth.”
Numbers 6:25-26 “The Lord make his face to shine upon you and be gracious to you; the Lord turn his face toward you and give you peace.”
Author’s note: The Good Morning Garden will begin following a new author as we take a break from the wonderfully deep and profound C.S. Lewis. The new author is writing from God/Jesus’ point of view, speaking to us, their family. They are sent to me each day from the couple who inspired the Good Morning Garden. You will see immediately where the name of the Garden originated. Thanks and blessings to the Good Morning, Lord ministry for the many times they have ministered to so many.
Being still is not easy for many of us, especially we AAA type personalities. Our culture engulfs us in a tide of busy-ness. This makes it most challenging to hear the “wee small voice” amid the din of modern life. Yet, it is in this quite voice which speaks from our depths, that God makes his will and light known to us.
It is in the quiet mode that insight, knowledge and understanding awaken, hear and understand that voice. It is the real us speaking, and it takes disciplined effort to hear it above life’s whirl. In fact, unless it is more important than virtually anything else in our lives, most of us will hear it seldom and heed it less.
The good news is that God put that voice in each of us. Once we turn our ears to hear it, turn or eyes to follow it and turn our hearts to love it, God promises to cover the rest. That includes the peace that most of us regard as true happiness.
