Have you ever found yourself sitting on a mountaintop and gazed over the valley in contemplation? That moment invites reflection. A moment of stillness help gain perspective and hear the voice of ultimate reality. The rush of daily life might distract us from taking moments like these, but when we pause to evaluate, we can find understanding. Stillness can bring clarity and help us find the strength to go on.
“Be still, and know that I am God.” (Psalm 46:10 ESV)
In moments of stillness, we can become aware of a deeper presence. A pause from the noise of life opens us up to clearer guidance. It may not seem like it, but reflection is an active way of engaging with something greater, a connection that helps us see more.
“Let us test and examine our ways, and return to the Lord!” (Lamentations 3:40 ESV)
Take time to reflect and align with God’s purpose. Self-examination helps us recognize areas where we need to grow, repent, or just rest in His grace. Don’t overthink it, reflection is opening up to God’s presence and direction.
Spiritual Move: Examination — A quiet self-reflection and an intentional pause to assess one’s life and relationship with God. By examining our ways, we return to the Lord in humility and openness, allowing Him to bring peace and clarity into our hearts. Stillness and reflection help connect our lives with God’s purposes, guiding us to rest in His direction.
Try This: Set aside 10 minutes today to sit in silence. Ask God to reveal His presence and reflect on how He has been moving in your life. Journal Prompt: What has God been teaching you lately? How can you create more space to reflect with a daily rhythm?
