Weekly Meditation Verse: Psalm 122 “Peace be within your walls.”
As a family house with 6 cats, our house is very rarely peaceful, except for first thing in the morning when I have my first cup of coffee and take time to meditate on my daily reading and morning prayer. This sounds every so worthy, but the honest truth is, some mornings I’m in a rush and it doesn’t happen. All I know is that taking time with God sets me off on a much better footing on the days I do it!
Ruth often asks us “what has been good for your wellbeing this week?” My answer usually is “a hot cup of coffee and a sleepy cat first thing in the morning.”
I would encourage you to deliberately take time out of your day to pause and not only will there be peace in your four walls but a sense of peace in your head.
Philippians 4:6-7
“6 Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. 7 Then you will experience God’s peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus.”
