January 2 | Know Jesus

“Cease striving and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth.” Psalm 46.10

Reading: Psalm 46

Life gets busy.  As Eugene Peterson says, “We need to step out of the traffic!”  We are commanded to stop, rest, relax, let go and make time for Jesus.  Too often life is noisy, filled with hectic schedules, but we need to carve out that time to be still and silent to meet with the Lord to know Him through His Word and prayer.

Prayer:  Lord, I want to know You.  Help me to make time to be still and silent before You.  Help me to make time to read Your Word and to pray.
