AUTHOR: MARY LAWRENCE-DOKPESI
SCRIPTURE:
Psalm 46:10 (Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth.)
SPIRITUAL POSTULATION:
Quiet reflection allows you to receive divine guidance about your financial path.
REFLECTION:
Amid a world pulsating with noise and busyness, Psalm 46:10 offers a timeless invitation: “Be still, and know that I am God.” This verse isn’t advocating for inactivity, but for a shift in our energy and focus. It urges us to step away from the external frenzy and turn inward, towards the wellspring of abundance within.
Imagine abundance not just as material possessions, but as an overflowing sense of peace, purpose, and connection. Cultivating this inner abundance requires stepping into the sacred space of silence. In silence, the external noise fades, allowing us to hear the whispers of our soul, the nudges of intuition, and the guiding voice of the Divine.
This inner listening isn’t passive. It’s an active engagement with our own being, exploring our passions, values, and desires. It’s about quieting the inner critic and listening to the whispers of possibility. This practice, like a seed planted in fertile soil, begins to grow into a life that reflects our authentic desires and brings forth true prosperity.
May this devotional serve as a gentle reminder of the power that lies within the silence. As you cultivate the practice of inner listening, may you discover the true abundance that awaits in the stillness.
PRAYERS
Divine source, grant me the grace to enter the stillness. Help me quiet the external noise and open my heart to your whispers. Guide me towards the abundance that lies within, leading me to a life filled with purpose and peace. Amen.
