Pause

PAUSE

We all have things we have to get done every day. Some of us have things to do for our company to succeed. Others work at home and have to complete certain tasks every day. Some stay busy all day long doing both. However, we also need to rest. We can’t expect our bodies to continue to go, go, go all the time. We have to rest at night to get the sleep our bodies need.

It has also been proven when we stop some time during our day and just sit and think, we will be more energized and more productive. We really need to take time to pause during the day to take a break, reflect on the day, think and even pray. God wants us to do His work but in order to completely follow Him, we need to take time to pause by sitting still, praying or reading His word so we can better listen and know what it is He wants us to do.

SCRIPTURE: Job 37:14 “Pause a moment, Job, and listen; consider the wonderful things God does.” (GNT)

ACTION STEPS:
1. List the times you have just paused this week.
2. Write down some times you can pause today.
3. Know you will get more done when you take time to pause.
4. Remember God wants you to stop and consider today the great things He has done.

PRAYER: Dear Lord, help us to remember daily to pause. Help us remember daily to stop and think about You. Help us to remember daily to consider the great and wonderful things You have done. When we pause and remember You, we will have more direction about what it is You want us to do. When we pause and sit still and listen to what You have to say by reading Your word or meditating on a scripture, we will learn how we can better follow You. Thank You, Lord, that You want to spend time with us and that You want us to pause to remember You, praise You and listen to You. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

REMEMBER:
A daily pause to reflect on God and His will can help us to better follow Him.

When we pause and remember God, we will have more direction about what it is He wants us to do.

Pausing to remember the great things God has done will give us a wonderful perspective on life.

God wants us to pause and remember Him, praise Him, pray to Him and read His word.

God wants us to do His work but we also need to take time to pause by sitting still, praying or reading His word.

FOCUS: Psalm 37:7a “Be still in the presence of the Lord, and wait patiently for Him to act.” (NLT)

When we train ourselves to be pause and be still and quiet, we can better hear and focus on God every day.
