Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations,
I will be exalted in the earth! (Psalm 46:10, New King James Version)
This is a unique title, I know. For the last few weeks, the Lord has been showing me what it truly means to "be still." So often, we're so busy that we don't take time to hear the Lord speak to us. We check prayer off our list and go on our merry way. When we do spend valuable time in prayer, we spend it telling God our requests...what WE need. But ladies, let's take the time to let God speak to us. He has some great things to say, if only we'd take the time to listen. So many times, we're wondering where God is and why He's not speaking. God says to us just what the title of this devotion is, "I'm here, where are you?" Let me encourage you, take the time and let Him speak to you. When you do, When we take that precious time, we will get treasures of gold!
Dear Lord, help us stop and take that precious time that we think we don't have and just sit in your lap and listen to what you have to say. Lord, we need to hear you...please speak. Lord we love You and we praise You. Amen.

Have You Left Your First Love?
Nevertheless I have this against you, that you have left your first love.
(Revelation 2:4, NKJV)
When couples get married, everyone knows, there is the honeymoon phaise. You're so happy to be married and you're so thrilled to be able to have your own place. After a few years, the honeymoon period is over. In our walk with the Lord, we can have the same problem. Do you need to return to your first love today? Do you need that renewed fire and zeal? When we first get saved, we're so on fire for God and we want to do all that we can to please Him. After awhile, again, He becomes routine to us. We'll attend church because it's a ritual. We've always done it so we know that's what we're supposed to do. It's the same with our Bible reading and devotion time. There again, we've always done it, so it's just something we check off our list. Let me encourage you, stop making devotion time a thing we check off our lists, let's make it a priority!
