Solitude!

Like almost everyone else, I struggled with this devotion. There are soooo many things to distract me from God but it's unbelievable how much we'll be rewarded when we give him the undivided attention that He deserves! My Lord created me and I can't even take a break from some worldly distraction to spend time with Him. This is a reminder that I need to enter silence in humility and with an open mind to fully embrace what the Spirit has for me. (Side note, my phone just vibrated and I got up to check it...clearly I need to work on this.)

One of the themes of the devotion was being scared of what Jesus is trying to tell us. For me, sometimes I get scared that I won't hear anything at all and will have know clue what the Spirit is doing! I fall into the trap of this cycle. But I find that when I dive into the word and really find true solitude, that's when it's amazing! The cycle is reverse. I spend solitude with God, I see Him working, I find my trust in Him, and I want to spend more time in solitude! When I don't take that leap of faith to humble myself and be silent, I never see the incredible things that God is doing and has planned for me.
