Isaiah 55:3 - REALLY LIVING!!!

Isaiah 55:3 (NCV) Come to me and listen; 
listen to me so you may live.  

COMMENTARY PEARL

   I sleep with my cell phone on the 
nightstand beside my bed. The phone serves as my alarm 
clock. I also use it to pay bills and to 
communicate by email with my employer, book editors, and 
members of my writing circle. I use my phone to 
promote books and book signings on social media. I 
use it to connect with family and friends who 
post occasional pictures of sunny vacations, 
grinning grandbabies, and cake recipes they will 
never commence to bake.  
   While the technology makes me especially 
accessible to my aging mother, I have reached a 
resounding conclusion. With all its pings, beeps, and 
ringing notifications, my cell phone is a 
distraction. The prophet Isaiah said it is in 
quietness that we find our strength (Isaiah 30:15, 
KJV). So, each day after the alarm rings, I rise 
from bed. I mute my phone to pray, read a 
collection of devotionals, meditate on a Bible verse, 
and then I sit in silence. In silence I commune 
with my Creator, who owns infinite wisdom about 
all the things that will concern my day.  
   Sustained moments of silence before the 
Lord are as necessary to each morning as washing 
my face or combing my hair. In the silence, 
Jesus speaks to my heart, and I obtain clarity of 
mind. In the silence of the morning, I also 
remember blessings from the previous day, month or 
years past, and these precious memories fuel my 
heart with the strength to face present 
challenges. We should cloak each morning in a hush of 
quiet time with the Lord. It is the only way to be 
completely dressed. by Alice Thompson  
   Faith Step: Mute your phone this morning 
for thirty minutes. Sit in silence and ask Jesus 
to speak with you. Take notes and answer His 
call. [Mornings With Jesus 2020 Devotional by 
Guideposts and Zondervan]
