The Ticking Watch

Bible in a Year: Leviticus 11-12, Matthew 26:1-25

Be still before the Lord and wait patiently for him.
Psalm 37:7

Today's Scripture & Insight: assures us that we can trust God to rescue us from the "wicked schemes" of evil people, give us refuge, and help us stay faithful. But how can we do this when turmoil is all around us?

Verse 7 suggests: "Be still before the Lord and wait patiently for him." We could start by learning to keep silent for a few minutes after prayer. Or by quietly reading the Bible and letting the words soak into our hearts. And then, perhaps, we'll hear His wisdom speaking to us, quiet and steady as a ticking watch.

By: Leslie Koh

Reflect & Pray
How can you be still before God each day? What will help you stay silent and listen?

Loving God, grant me the patience and discipline to stay still for a while each day, that I might hear Your gentle whisper in my life.
