As I sit and have my cup of coffee with Jesus, I was thinking about RETREAT. Oftentimes, I think that I need to go to another country, or to the mountains, or to the ocean to take a RETREAT, to get away from things, to find that peaceful balance, and to rest. But the best place to make a RETREAT is within our own souls! We don’t really need to go anywhere to bring ourselves into the peace of God. Psalm 46:10 says, “Be still and know that I am GOD!” And Psalm 23:1-2 says, ”The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He makes me to lie down in green pastures. He leads me beside still waters. He restores my soul.”
Every day we need to make a mini-retreat. We need to stop, close our eyes, breathe, and be in the moment. This calms the mind, gets rid of anxiety, and bring us back into our souls.
Today, I’m going to take five mini-RETREATS between appointments, errands, and unplanned events. I am going to stop and be still and know that I am with God.
Have a blessed day!
