Journey To Renewal

Be transformed by the
renewing of your mind

Begin the journey to renew your attitudes, actions and appearance!

BE STILL

Be still.....and know that I am God.
(Psalm 46:10)

We recently had new windows installed.   We expected that they would be prettier than the old ones, that they would be easier to clean than the old ones, and even that we would be able to keep the house cooler at a higher thermostat setting. What we didn't expect was that the house was much quieter.   We don't necessarily live in a noisy area although we are subject to cars driving down the street and an occasional plane overhead.  Since the installation of the new windows, however, we don't hear anything except sirens from emergency vehicles.  The quiet is quite nice!

This topic's Renewal Manna is about being still.  How often do you really stop and listen to God's word?  How often do you really stop and bask in the glory of God? No words, no music, no nothing.  Just the peacefulness of knowing that God IS.

Even in our prayer life, it's hard to be still and "hear" God because we're so busy pouring out our petitions for our needs and our wants.

Guiding Scripture...

Be transformed by the renewing of your mind.
Romans 12:2

Topic Scripture

Be still and know that
I am God.
(Psalm 46:10)

Write this scripture down and post it in a frequented area so it will become a part of your mind, your heart, and your soul.

This month, why not try these avenues of renewal.

Turn off the TV, radio and other forms of media.

Don't say anything when you pray. Just listen.

Take a walk without a CD player.

Get away to a quiet place, even away from family members.

Read God's word and ponder what it says.

Do not whine, complain or gripe.

Turn off the outside noise and the "noise" within
your head, your heart, and your soul.

Tell God you love Him. Listen to Him tell you that He loves you!

Survey His beautiful earth.
Gaze with thanks at the loved ones He has put in your life.
Consider your health.

Thank God for loving you and saving you through His
wonderful Son!

Bask in His love.

Be still....and know that He is God.

Think about what that means.


Noise and busyness can drown out the glory of God.

This month, make a conscious effort to listen to God saying,

Be still......and know that I am God.

PRAYER

God, this month I ask simply that you make me
aware when too much noise is drowning
out your communication with me.
Thank you for this simple reminder to
be still and know that You are God.
What a good God You are!
