When I was a boy it wasn’t uncommon to see people, and families taking a stroll in the evening. When people would have a problem in their life they wouldn’t go to a psychiatrist, they would take a quiet walk to meditate, think, reason, and if they were Men or women of faith they would discuss these things with God, and Jesus Christ. Somehow over the years we have fallen out of this habit, and come to believe that all our problems are to be addressed by yet more action, not less, and that quiet times of solitude are a waste of time. I invite each of us to ask ourselves a simple question today; “How much time do I spend alone with God, and Jesus, or in meditation versus going about my active life in the world, or even faith?”

We lead incredibly hectic lives these days, so separating ourselves from the turmoil of today’s modern life to a place where we can spend personal time with God, and Jesus Christ, must be intentional, purposeful, and made to be routine. Are we in the habit of doing this? Do we have quiet times, and calm peaceful places, where we can sit praying, waiting, and listening in silence to hear the low still voice of God each day? God calls such places where we are separated unto Him Holy, and when we visit Him there we are asked to remove our shoes, and thus He makes us holy too.
