Peace and Quiet

I think that something that is missing in most people is the opportunity to spend time alone. To find and enjoy peace and quiet.

There is no denying that we live in a fast paced world. But as people of God, can we find time to back off the fast pace from time to time, to find some peace and quiet, and just be with God?

Moses had perhaps two million Jewish people he was responsible for. He served as their judge, hearing their disputes. Yet, he went up to Mount Sinai to be alone with God.

Jesus often had crowds pressing in from every side, at times impossible to even move. Yet He would regularly go into the wilderness or up on a mountain, or just out of the house, to be alone with God.

We too need time alone with God. We are wired that way. And we are stressed when we don’t get it. So I encourage you to find a way to build some quiet time into each day. Use that time for prayer and Scripture reading, but also to be with God. Don’t forget to just be with Him.
