Get Childish

“But I have stilled and quieted myself, just as a small child is quiet with its mother. Yes, like a small child is my soul within me.” - Psalm 131:2

Do you hurry through your prayer time so you can get to other things? If so, consider the values Jesus modeled when He spent prayer time with His Father.

SOLITUDE: Though Jesus was constantly surrounded by people, He recognized His need for times of seclusion. Often, He would retreat from the crowds to spend time alone with the Father and to pray in private.

SAFEGUARDS: Jesus was guarded about His time so He could rest in the Spirit, be with the Father, and build up physical and emotional strength. Even when people were clamoring for His attention, Jesus valued this time, knowing that His ministry would be better for it.

STILLNESS: Psalm 46:10 calls us to quietness with these words, “Be still and know that I am God.” To develop inner peace, make time to stop everything you are doing and let your soul become aware of the Holy Spirit’s presence. In today’s verse, David described stillness and quietness before the Lord as being like a “small child” at peace in his mother’s arms. And yes, when you do, your soul will become the same way, still and quiet within you.

These values may seem impossible in our fast paced, multitasking world. But when you make it a priority to quiet your heart before the Lord, you will discover the value of the peace of His presence.

Make time each day to be quiet and still before God. Make time to GET CHILDISH.
