Bible Verse of the Day:
Come and see what the Lord has done, the desolations he has brought on the earth.9 He makes wars cease to the ends of the earth. He breaks the bow and shatters the spear; he burns the shields[d] with fire. 10 He says, “Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth.” 11 The Lord Almighty is with us; the God of Jacob is our fortress, Psalm 46:8-11.
Biblical Connection:
When Sally takes Lightning on a drive through the mountains, she stops at a scenic overlook. This gives her an opportunity to share a history lesson about life before Interstate 40 was built. As a vehicle built on speed, Lightning McQueen isn’t designed to go slow. Yet, as Lightning sees what all the travelers are missing, he realizes the importance of slowing down to take in your surroundings.
A son of Korah writes to the Israelites about the importance of reflection. When you become absorbed by life like most modern-day individuals, you become oblivious to what’s going on around you. This is why this son of Korah urges Israel to routinely practice being still before the Lord. When you do, your mind will be opened like Lightning observing from above.
Closing Song:
As a new month begins, today would be a great time for getting in the habit of being still before the Lord. When you do, the Lord will open your eyes to help you see what you’ve been missing.
