I Am Preparing You for what is on the road ahead, just around the bend.  Take time to be still in My Presence so that I can strengthen you.  The busier you become, the more you need this time apart with Me.  So many people think that time spent with Me is a luxury they cannot afford.  As a result, they live and work in their own strength -- until that becomes depleted.  Then they either cry out to Me for help or turn away in bitterness.

How much better it is to walk close to Me, depending on My strength and trusting Me in every situation.  If you live in this way, you will do less but accomplish far more.  Your unhurried pace of living will stand out in this rush-crazed age.  Some people may deem you lazy, but many more will be blessed by your peacefulness.  Walk in the Light with Me, and you will reflect Me to the watching world.    

Isaiah 64:4 (MSG)
4 Since before time began no one has ever imagined, No ear heard, no eye seen, a God like you who works for those who wait for him.   

John 15:5 (NIV)
5 "I am the vine; you are the branches. If a man remains in me and I in him, he will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing.   

Psalm 36:9 (NLT)
9 For you are the fountain of life, the light by which we see.   

Psalm 36:9 (MSG)
9 You're a fountain of cascading light, and you open our eyes to light.
