“I sat to the Lord, “You are my God.” Hear, Lord, my cry for mercy. Sovereign Lord, my strong deliverer, you shield my head in the day of battle.” (Psalm 140:6-7, NIV)
“Often we are distracted by life to the point that we are too busy to connect with the Lord.
Pour a cup of tea and sit in your favorite chair. Look out your window to whatever nature might surround you. Better yet, take a nice leisurely walk around your neighborhood or in a park.
Notice that just as the air escaping your lips is normally unseen in other seasons, fall exposes the presence of God. Notice that those things that often are invisible seem to be shouting out God’s presence with each step you take.
How wonderful that in these quiet moments, God takes every means to remind you that He cherishes the precious time you spend with Him.
Prayer: Lord, forgive me for being distracted. I will make time for You – especially today. Give me a visible glimpse of You.”

Today I am joining … Spiritual Sundays and Scripture & a Snapshot and Selah .
Your beautiful graphic reminds me of the story of when Moses asked for a glimpse of God and was rewarded by a glimpse of His back as He passed by. We are surrounded by His glory!
Lord, help me to never take those glimpses for granted!
This is so wonderful. Three of my favorite things…Autumn, spending time with God, and walking outdoors.
God gives us such lovely glimpses of his presence in the beauty around us, if only we open our eyes to see it!
Seems that I have been more in tune with that this year than ever before. Maybe my age and time getting less ahead and more left behind. His beauty in nature, a beautiful sunny day, and oh how I love the stillness on a Summer’s night with nature singing its tunes. What a lovely reminder you share of the beauty that surrounds us if we just take a moment to appreciate. Enjoyed reading your peaceful post for this Sunday.

So very true-especially for me this week! God forgive me and help me to be with you in quietness!
