25 M.P.H.
Passionate Worship
Psalm 47:7
God is the King over all the
earth. Praise Him with a Psalm!
RSV
On Seabrook Island the speed limit is 25 M.P.H., and everyone knows
that the Island police will ticket at 26 mph. So many people go less than 25
mph, don’t know why but they must do it to make up for the times that they may
go over 25 mph. Being a past
Chicago driver, this is a challenge for me to make this adjustment,
particularly since I must drive about 2 miles from the entrance of the Island to
my place on the Island--- it seems as if it takes FOREVER! But I have learned to relax and enjoy
the scenic drive noticing new things along the way.
I believe this is
what God demands of us--- Slow down --- He wants us to have time to worship Him
passionately. The presence of God in our lives gives us refuge and strength
when we are experiencing calamity in life. Through prayer and supplication we are to praise God and
place him in the center of our lives. So ask your self, "Are you ready to slow down?"Or even a better question “Do you have
God in the center of your life?” There are many ways to put God back into the center of your
life--- attending church, Bible Studies, daily prayer time, volunteering at
local mission out reach and the list goes on. Call your local churches and I am
sure they will be happy to assist you in your search.
During this Lenten
season dedicate yourself to slow down to 25 M.P.H. and discover how you can put
God in the center of your life once again, maybe even literally slow down your
own traveling speed --- both may just save your life. TOTT
Prayer
I am in such a rush, please
help me to slow down and reduce my speed so I can honor and praise your
name. I admit I want to slow down
and help me discover new ways to praise you by placing you once again in the
center of my life. Amen.
Commitment for today: How are you going to place God in the center of
your life. Pray on it today.
