One of my favorite scripture passages is found in Psalm 131: 2-3, “Surely I have behaved and quieted myself, as a child that is weaned of his mother: my soul is even as a weaned child. Let Israel hope in the Lord from henceforth and for ever.”
What that passage says to me is when we finally come to a place of rest our hope will be found in nothing else but Him. That’s a desirable place; a place that is difficult to get to, but where I want to be. I believe it’s the place of his supernatural power at work in our lives. Much of the goal of this Psalm 68 devotion is about getting to that place of quiet rest in God. And as the days grow more chaotic, we as God’s daughters must become familiar with that place, not only for ourselves but for our families, friends and those in our spheres of influence. Today’s devotion is simply to be quite and listen. You will have to discipline your mind from wondering and resist the impulse to “do” something. Oswalt Chambers says in his devotional, My Utmost for His Highest, that Christianity is about “being” instead of “doing.” I have the ‘utmost’ confidence in your ability to get to that place of rest, lay your head on His chest and hear his heart beat for you and your world.

Be quite and listen. What do you hear?
p.s. I’m thinking of publishing this devotion, I need your input and suggestions. I know very little about self-publishing, which is what I’m figuring I would have to do. I would also love to hear some of your most insightful and inspiring realizations during the Psalm 68 journey, aka: I need encouragement
