Scripture Of The Day — Psalm 62:1
“For God alone my soul waits in silence; from him comes my salvation.”
Big Idea
We don’t earn peace by pushing harder; we receive it by yielding to God. “In returning and rest you shall be saved; in quietness and in trust shall be your strength.” — Isaiah 30:15
Reflection
I used to treat stillness like a luxury—something I’d buy back after I’d conquered the day. But real strength didn’t show up when I clenched; it came when I opened. Like breath returning after a long dive, grace found me the moment I stopped thrashing. Quiet isn’t empty—it’s full of God’s presence. And from that presence, the work of our hands gains weight, not because we’re bigger, but because He is near.
Application
Today, try this:
- Return: Pause for sixty seconds; slow inhale, slower exhale. Whisper, “Here I am.”
- Replace: When anxiety rises, trade the loop for Scripture—repeat Isaiah 30:15 three times.
- Re-center: Choose one small act of embodied care (a glass of water, a short walk, or a simple skincare ritual like a pea-size of Reborn Tallow Balm PM). Do it prayerfully—as an offering, not a fix.
- Release: Write one burden on a card and place it in a “God box.” Leave it there for the next 24 hours.
Prayer
Father, teach my heart to return. Quiet my striving, steady my breath, and anchor my strength in You. Make my work an overflow of Your presence, not proof of my worth. Amen.
Closing Line
Quiet trust is the strongest posture you’ll take all day.
