Gentle waves at the ocean's surface
Choosing Devotion Over Rest
Where did I feel resistance?

I felt really tired this week.  In times of weariness, I’ve learned to press-in more intentionally to spend time with the LORD.  So, instead of sleeping in later, I got up at my usual time on Tuesday morning to Sabbath (my appointment with God), then I prayed for Joshua, Tammi, KCF, and the local business owners and their businesses that I’m involved in.  In closing I asked, “What does my best look like?”

Where did I feel delight?

Just being able to spend a full day dedicated to the LORD really is a privilege and has been the source of delight for me.  Not only has it become part of my weekly rhythm to sabbath, it’s been a time of reflection and personal growth.

Where did I most experience God’s nearness?

You know, I think my prayer time has increased my feeling of nearness to God.  I don’t know exactly when that happened.  But it feels like now when I pray, it’s like He’s there, listening.  I don’t necessarily hear anything all the time.  It’s just the feeling that He’s there, listening.
