Fight Night – Day 2
Day 2: The Power of the Pause
Key Verse:
Psalm 46:10 (NIV)
“Be still, and know that I am God.”
Reflection:
You need the power of the pause. The noise of life makes it hard to hear from God. As Eldredge writes in the book Get Your Life Back, “The pause is the point. It’s not about doing nothing. It’s about stopping long enough to return to the reality that God is with you.” (Page 97)
Stillness opens the door for God’s presence in your life. When you pause, you remember that He is with you. Pausing isn’t about being idle; it’s about creating space to reconnect with God. Stillness opens the door for His presence, helping you remember that He is always with you. When you take a moment to pause, you reset
your heart and mind, allowing God’s peace and presence to fill you in ways that the noise of life cannot.
Application:
Take at least three intentional pauses today. In each pause, breathe deeply and acknowledge that God is present with you. You don’t need to do anything but stop and be still in His presence.
Prayer Focus:
Pray that God would teach you the discipline of pausing and help you cultivate stillness in your day. Ask Him to meet you in those pauses with His peace.
