God is the greatest. There is nothing higher, he is the highest. However, there is a powerful enemy of God who is reigning on earth. Satan is full of hate toward God and us, because we are made “in the image of God.” (Genesis 1:27) His best strategy to destroy us is to prevent us from spending time with God. Since the beginning, he has been good at enticing us away. Today, the available distractions are numerous and his plan is much easier. Even those who are faithful to God can get overwhelmed and crowd Him out. We must be careful! We absolutely need time with God. Not an anxious prayer or a hurried bible read, but a full surrender to Him. Being in His presence is like a precious oil poured over our heart, soul and mind. We need this! It’s where our identity is made known. It’s where God’s sovereignty and tender love for us is disclosed.

We can sleep. We can relax. Yet, our true rest only comes from spending time with God. Where He can remind us that His way is light. The enemy would prefer to keep us heavy and weighed down. God does not want us oppressed by the anxieties of this life. Stop taking the bait! Instead, enter the sanctuary of His presence. Go to the footstool of God. Be like, “Mary, who sat at the Lord’s feet listening to what he said.” (Luke 10:39) This is where the fullness of joy is experienced. This is where God is disclosed.
