I need just a minute, please!

Happy December! This past week I took some time to decorate my home for Christmas. Many of the ornaments that I put on the Christmas tree holds special memories. Taking time to treasure special memories in a world filled with nothing but the noise makes my heart so happy. This week I am talking about needing a minute.

Last week I talked about learning more in the quiet. If you missed my blog last week, you can find it here.

I started the book of Luke a few days ago. One verse that stood out to me was Luke 2:19, “But Mary treasured all these things, giving careful thought to them and pondering them in her heart.”

In a world that is full of chaos and change, have you caught yourself saying “I need just a minute, please!”

I remember when my boys were little and it seemed like every time I was busy, they would bombard me with questions. I needed a few minutes to think.

Now that my boys are grown, I have more time to myself, but life never slows down. Chaos is everywhere we turn.

The noise keeps us from the good things.

In Luke 2:19, Mary didn’t wonder why these things were happening around her. She pondered the good things of God in her heart.

I need a minute to ponder the good. What would our lives be like if throughout the day we spent a minute pondering the things of God? How would our lives change?

Take a minute, be still, and ponder what God is doing in your life.

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.”

All we need to know is God has everything in control. He will never fail you!
