Today’s thoughts by Deborah Ard.

Proverbs 8:17 NIV — I love those who love me, and those who seek me find me. 

Proverbs 8:35 NIV — For those who find me find life and receive favor from the Lord.

How have you taken time this week to slow down, rest, and rejuvenate? Today’s scriptures encourage us to seek God. By seeking and finding God we are promised His favor. When we are busy, it is easy to fall into the trap of skipping time with God and rushing right into our busy day. Even in our busy season, you and I must make spending time with God a priority. By slowing down, setting aside a time to read scripture, pray, and seek God’s guidance, you and I will find rest and rejuvenation. 

On this Thankful Thursday, thank God for His promises. How will you intentionally seek God, even when you are busy? 

Let’s pray. Dear God, forgive me for the busy times that I rush through my day and fail to spend time with You. Thank You for not giving up on me and welcoming me with open arms when I return to slow down and rest with You. In Jesus’ name I pray, Amen.
