PAUSE : How Spiritual Reflective Thinking Can Change Your Life

Pause. Its a beautiful thing. In electronic devices, the Pause button enables you and me to take care of some important or urgent things without needing to start all over again. In sports, the equivalent of Pause is Time-out. Time-out is good because it allows a player (or team) to evaluate his/her performance and make necessary adjustments so that he can accomplish his goal of winning the game. Stopping for a while and thinking through things is important. Man needs times of stepping aside and gaining perspective so that he/she can face his/her situations with strength and wisdom. Without taking time to reflect and think with the help of the Holy Spirit, man can fail to live the wonderful life God wants him to live. Are you taking time to pause from the busyness of your life so that you can be refreshed, regain perspective, appreciate the journey, or make needed adjustments? Or is your life too busy that you find yourself so stressed out, losing your joy, or making wrong decisions? I encourage you to pause. Reflect and think about your life and ministry with the help of the Holy Spirit. You will receive a breath of life from the Lord that will bless your life. I encourage you to spend more time alone in prayer. Give quality time to the study of the Word of God. Grab a few good Christian books that will help you learn more about God’s principles and teachings. The benefits will more than outweigh the costs. I promise you that.
