MORNING STRETCH

Listening to God’s voice is central to keeping my heart on the right path. I am easily distracted, so there must be daily renewal of commitment to hear and obey. Inward quietness, which can be difficult to come by in such a busy world, is rooted in peace with God. Peace with God begins with acceptance of His Redeeming Love and Blessed Ways rather than our own. Will I trudge through on my own or will I take hold of the horns of the altar? I choose the latter. Father, I rejoice in the hope of entering Your Glory. I stretch my hands to You in joyful praise. Lord, draw me nearer and deeper.
