I sat and had my morning coffee this morning as usual and grabbed for my daily devotional. For those of you who know me really well, I have a hard time sitting still. These past few months have been far less "productive" in my mind than what I would accomplish back home in Canada. I just have to share what the Lord shared with me this morning!

| My retreat to a "quiet" place with God |
"I am preparing you for what is on the road ahead, just around the bend. Take time to be still in My presence so that I can strengthen you. The busier you become, the more you need this time apart with Me. So many people think that time spent with Me is a luxury they cannot afford. As a result, they live and work in their own strength-until that becomes depleted. Then they either cry out to Me for help or turn away in bitterness.
How much better it is to walk close to Me, depending on My strength and trusting Me in every situation. If you live this way, you will do less but accomplish far more. Your unhurried pace of living will stand out in this rush-crazed age. Some people may deem you lazy, but many more will be blessed by your peacefulness. Walk in the Light with Me, and you will reflect Me to the watching world."
"For since the world began no one has seen or heard of such a God as ours, who works for those who wait for Him!" Isaiah 64:4
As we celebrate the coming of a new year, I challenge you to make this a focus in your life.
