Psalm 31: 14-16

Boundaries

"But I trust in you, O LORD; I say, ‘You are my God.’ My times are in your hands; deliver me from my enemies and from those who pursue me. Let your face shine on your servant; save me in your unfailing love."

I am reading a book for Bible study called "Boundaries, How to Say No." I enjoy being involved, committed and "busy." I began this reading thinking I was in control, that I was saying yes only to those tasks I wanted to do.

But I was wrong. As I evaluated where my time is spent, I realized that I haven’t allowed time to deepen my relationship with God.

I am now reviewing my obligations and have begun a "weeding out" process. I am setting dates of when I will complete tasks and free up time to better serve my Lord.

I must plan time to study the Bible, use the gifts he has blessed me with, and most importantly, to have quiet time to listen.

Prayer: Loving Father, draw me near to you. Create in me a longing for you like the deer that thirst for water. Provide me the quiet time I desire to learn and grow in your word. Let me model your grace to a world that doesn’t know you, except for what they see in me. Guide me and protect me, in Jesus’ name. Amen.
