Psalm 130:5-6
I wait with longing for the Lord, my soul waits for his word. My soul looks for the Lord more than sentinels for daybreak.

How attentive are we for God’s word? Is your soul looking for God? Most of us are in the mistaken belief that we are our thinking. Our minds are constantly working…thoughts are constantly bombarding us…and we mistakenly believe we are those thoughts. We are not. Sit and be silent. Observe the thoughts. Who is doing the observing? The real you of course! Take some quiet time to allow the thoughts to drift away. Cultivate a contemplative place in your soul. Then as you live each day…be present to the moment. As I walked this morning…the sound of the birds could have been meaningless noise beyond the chatter of my thoughts. Instead…as I calmed my mind and focused on the present…the beautiful chirping became God’s harmonious music singing, “I Am here. I Am with you.”
