Shut the noise around you! Be quiet, be still, listen to the Lord, and put your focus on God.
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!”
Philippians 4:7
And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
Romans 8:6
For the mind-set of the flesh is death, but the mind-set of the Spirit is life and peace.
Isaiah 26:3
You keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on you, because he trusts in you.
Take the time to praise our Lord. “God I came just to say thank you.” Praise and Thanksgiving will chase the enemies of your soul away. Satan will not be able to come near you as long as you are truly praising and thanking God for everything in your life. Also, God will turn around what was meant for evil, to your advantage, for your good. Trust me on this.
Psalm 150:1-2
Praise the Lord! Praise God in his sanctuary; praise him in his mighty heavens! Praise him for his mighty deeds; praise him according to his excellent greatness!
Psalm 117:1-2
Praise the Lord, all nations! Extol him, all peoples! For great is his steadfast love toward us, and the faithfulness of the Lord endures forever. Praise the Lord!
Psalm 22:3
Yet You are holy, enthroned on the praises of Israel.
Genesis 50:20
As for you, what you intended against me for evil, God intended for good, in order to accomplish a day like this—to preserve the lives of many people.
Talk to God about everything at home, at work or at school, while driving, in the shower, while cooking, while exercising, even while studying and playing, etc. He’s a great listener, great helper, and more than a best friend.
Psalm 62:8
Trust in him at all times, O people; pour out your heart before him; God is a refuge for us.
1 Chronicles 16:11
Look to the LORD and his strength; seek his face always.
Colossians 4:2
Devote yourselves to prayer, being watchful and thankful.
Ephesians 6:18
And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord’s people.
Spend time with the Lord by getting to know God intimately in His Word.
Joshua 1:8
Study this Book of Instruction continually. Meditate on it day and night so you will be sure to obey everything written in it. Only then will you prosper and succeed in all you do.
Psalm 119:147-148
I rise early, before the sun is up; I cry out for help and put my hope in your words. My eyes are awake before the watches of the night, that I may meditate on your promise.
Consciously spending time in His presence every moment of your life, leads to knowing God's will and plan for your life.
Proverbs 16:3
Commit your actions to the LORD, and your plans will succeed.
Matthew 6:33
But above all pursue his kingdom and righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.
The dangers of never reading God's Word now and never making time for the Lord:-
One day you will seek God's Word but you will not be able to find it.
Amos 8:11
“Behold, the days are coming,” declares the Lord GOD, “when I will send a famine on the land— not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the words of the LORD.
When it is too late, God will say, “I never knew you. Although you went around thinking you did my bidding but it was never my will for you. You never spent time with Me. You were never in My presence. I never really got to know you. The Day of Judgement is here and it’s too late to get to know Me now, depart from Me.”
Matthew 7:21-23 ESV
"Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. [22] On that day many will say to me, 'Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many mighty works in your name?' [23] And then will I declare to them, 'I never knew you; depart from me, you workers of lawlessness.'
So please spend quality time getting to know Jesus and seeking God's will, through God's Word now.
