Take Time!

Everyone is busy.  Most everyone has a schedule to meet.  Almost everyone seems to be in a hurry.  And it seems nearly everyone does not know how to be still and Take Time ----

     "Take time to be friendly -- it only takes a smile and a kind word.
Take time to give -- it brings peace and contentment.
      Take time to laugh -- it is the music of the soul.
Take time to think -- it plants the seed of accomplishment.

      Take time to read -- it is the foundation of wisdom.
Take time to work -- it is the price of success.
      Take time to play -- it is the secret of perpetual youth.
Take time to love and be loved -- it is a God-given privilege.

      Take time to pray -- it is the greatest power on earth."

Psalm 4:4 says -- "...commune with your own heart upon your bed, and be still."
In Psalm 46:10, we read -- "Be still, and know that I am God."
Isaiah 30:15 tells us -- "...in quietness and in confidence shall be your strength."

And let us never forget the wonderful promise in James 5:16 --
       "The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much."
