Focus
Experience silence in the midst of your busy day. Take some time to relax into a time to be with God.

Psalm 67
To the leader: with stringed instruments. A Psalm. A Song.
1 May God be gracious to us and bless us
and make his face to shine upon us,Selah
2 that your way may be known upon earth,
your saving power among all nations.
3 Let the peoples praise you, O God;
let all the peoples praise you.
4 Let the nations be glad and sing for joy,
for you judge the peoples with equity
and guide the nations upon earth.Selah
5 Let the peoples praise you, O God;
let all the peoples praise you.
6 The earth has yielded its increase;
God, our God, has blessed us.
7 May God continue to bless us;
let all the ends of the earth revere him.
Reflect
I have watched the faces of people when someone they love comes into sight. Their face softens, their eyes have a slight twinkle, and the corner of the mouth has a slight upturn. Their demeanor even seems to change slightly. The love and affection they have for that person is obvious. Maybe they have a special song they consider theirs. Do people see the change in us when we fall in love with Christ as our Savior? Does our face light up when we talk about Him? Do our eyes shine with His love? Do we smile more and frown less? Has our demeanor changed? Do you have a special song that takes you into God’s presence? I ask all of these questions because we SHOULD be different after our salvation. People SHOULD be able to notice a difference in us. That difference should cause a stirring in those around us. It should draw them into the presence of God. Why? Because God has blessed us and our lives have shown something better to them. We have a new way of living in peace and love and are excited to share with them.
Pray
Loving Father, You are worthy of our praise and love. Sometimes we fail to pass that love on to others and be an example in our world. Forgive us when we fail to recognize just how good you are to us. Remind us to do better.
Go with God!
